Helimut ... Really ?? !!
Very sad after a lot of us heard reports that he had walked away . It was very windy , probably 40 knots in the hills so possible 50kn gusts maybe over the tops . I don't know his hours or experience but low hrs plus teetering head then add high winds in the hills and you have dangerous mix . Not saying that is what happened here .... The tail section would give a good indication if there had been blade contact. RIP
