Once the rotation starts, the continued acceleration of rate as the tail comes back towards the air flow seems to me to make TR shaft failure much more likely than LTE. I have not flown this model, but a 120 will "swap ends" like others say of the Gazelle, and once weather-cocked it all slows and gets considerably less exciting. In this vid, the excitement level just kept going up and up.
