History repeating itself? From Wiki:

The first S-69 built (73-21941) first flew on July 26, 1973. However, it was badly damaged in a low-speed crash on August 24, 1973 due to unexpected rotor forces and insufficient control systems.[2] The airframe was then converted into a wind tunnel testbed
Note: S-69 was first of the Sik coaxials.

Could not tell from photo on landing gear position. Looks like it was up. Question: Who hovers over a runway with the gear up?
