The wings suddenly falling off a plane is my go-to analogy for a EUC losing balance. At least in a plane you get some time to consider while plummeting to your death. But the EUC won't kill you with 99.999% certainty, so that's something;)

So more like a heli crash then, unless you lose the rotor of course, then you're toast. But if you lose motor power, you have at least _some_ chance of making it out alive.

Wow you guys sure know how to probe a raw nerve. :wacko: Since I survived two helicopter crashes and one faceplant I’m hoping  @Smoother will consider printing me up a special certificate. ;)

Did you fly both or just were you just a passenger at the time? If you flew them then good job. It might sound odd but...

Yes I was the pilot of both. 2 different ships both experimental. Rotorway and Safari. Engine issues. Both hit hard after my autorotations to the ground and then flipped over.

She would, if she acted on that $5,000,000 life insurance policy offer for $29.99  i PM'd her the other day.  Money makes everything better. :D

 I’m beginning to understand why she eagerly helped me install the pedal spikes. :huh:

Thanks. It was fun building them. I did get bored drilling all of the holes.:yawn: The spikes worked better than I expected as I found out 2 weeks later. :facepalm:
