Stop stirring the stick when you get close to the ground to avoid dynamic rollover. Set 'er down on a collective down stroke. That's how we do it here in the wilds of Northern Alberta where there's nothing but swamp and boreal forest as far as the eye can see.
Practice with an instructor!
Exactly the concise answer I was looking for! Question though : does stirring the stick in a clockwise motion which is opposite or the rotor spin create another gyroscopic force which opposes the spin? Swashplate is moving clockwise while rotor is counter clockwise thus helping to slow the spin?
