Thanks! I noticed no one had ever done a below heli shot, at least of the clips I had seen.

Wow, I didn't even think of that. I guess the stabilizer bar could deflect that much to hit the lower blades. I was having trouble visualizing how it would hit the upper rotor, but thought maybe the strain of the fast-moving parts could bend it enough to collide.

I actually just got some footage of the heli going into a death roll. I got it caught in some flowers while I was making sure the heli was in the viewfinder of my camera. When I noticed it was getting stuck, I full throttled and came out, then hovered for about a half second, then randomly the Lama veered off to the side and smashed into the wall. It was as if I was applying full aileron. As usual, I didn't hear any wierd noises of any kind. There must be something going on with the electronics. I'll post the video when I get home.
