Woof! Bad pilot + forgiving heli = decent outcome.
Got to love the Brantly. Hell of a machine, doesn't get the respect it deserves!! Friend of mine told me the factory pilots used to put one skid in a deep ditch to demonstrate the slope capability of the machine. Way more than Frank's little bird could dream of handling.
Try one out should you get the chance.

First time I've seen someone put a leg down to prevent dynamic rollover.

Since it appears he was at the controls (the B-2B being a dual), I doubt his pax would've been that impressed had he baled.
It is a neat little machine. One of the few aircraft to have a tighter rotor/canopy clearance than the X2.

Dumb question from someone who's never flown in a helicopter in his entire life, but don't you control yaw with your feet on the 'rudder' pedals? If so, then isn't taking a foot off to fend off approaching terrain a little counterproductive?
