Not sure if this will successfully upload photo. If not, link should be self explanatory...

It's the best I could do with the poor video for now. Zero airspeed, 40% torque and ROD (lower right bug on PFD).

I'll try to upload video later - doesn't show a great deal more other than the machine bucking around a fair bit. I take Crab's point that pulling takeoff power from developed VRS at 40% torque is not equivalent to a slow, steep downwind approach with big power pulled through loss of ETL. Illustrates a decent rate of descent though.

EDIT - ROD descent displayed is showing 2100fpm. In video rises to 2400 but couldn't capture a decent still
