Man, I had a crash like that involving a basketball hoop. I did the exact opposite and punched full collective trying to pullout. The sound of the blades trying to dig into the air and the following crunch sound it made as it vaporized still haunt me. I was able to fit my rex into a sandwich bag. I feel sorry for you guys who are grounded (or restricted to the indoors) cause of the weather. I'm in Southern California and have gotten some good flying weather this week. Keep it up Bry, you'll be doing tick tocks, tail slides and all that other fun stuff when spring hits.
