Cambo-- there's something seriously wrong with the TRs if they only spin 3 or 4 revolutions before they stop after shutoff. My MX450 keeps going long after the motor is shut off, even with negative pitch on the blades, and I've sen TRs auto'd, too.

Either way, auto on a mini is an exciting thing, to say the least. My only auto IRL was from about 4 feet up, so it doesn't really count (just set it down, really), but the rotors on mine have a heck of a lot of momentum at 3000 rpm. If you take rapid measures to maintain HS you should be able to do it, but I'd practice with the flare at a good altitude first, and with throttle cut set up to keep the motor spinning a little at least to inhibit a soft start. Don't want to be spinning up slowly in the air.....
