Thumbs down Nursing????

I had six T/R failures in the RotorWay 162POS, uh, I mean 162F. Most of them were recoverable by getting the tailrotor to stop stalling (yes it can) and nursing it back.
Hey Aerobot....a Tail-Rotor failure; recoverable by stopping stalling? WTF & I always thought a TR failure meant loss of thrust due to the TR drive-shaft or some other failure which could be recovered by closing the throttle & holding off ground contact with collective, hopefully till the spinning stopped. Hmmmmm
