This from you:
not a crazy cowboy flier
maximum performance takeoff
and this from the pilot himself:
like I had never before
let euphoria take over common sense
something I had never done...over torqued the collective
Crowd...one is enough.....Camera.....yep ..it was on....confidence....you bet....
At least at this very flight, he really was a crazy cowboy. And it was of course no "max pwr t/o".
Could call himself lucky to still being able to think about it...
And I will try to not make this error by myself. Although I would not promise it.
