Something else to consider, is the RFM warning of adverse collective to yaw coupling. A strong right crosswind, or healthy tail wind for that matter, with lots of left pedal can jam raising the collective - especially if aircraft is heavy and there is a high power demand. The only way out is to kick right pedal in to free up the mixing unit. This can happen when trying to align the aircraft before touchdown. It's a very real event that all 76 drivers should be aware of. Just a few seconds of this unrecognized condition may be all you need to sink, hit the deck and roll.
