Good thing it was windy so he was able to land safely

Oh boy. I posted that over on the AvSig board. Can never tell what pilots might learn from an informative article like this.

I may just restrict future helo flight to windy days

Best,

That article reads like:

See spot. See spot run.

See spot run fast. Run, Spot, run.

See Helo. See Helo motor. See Helo fly up with motor into the wind!
See Helo motor quit. Feel the wind still blow.
Feel gravity. See Helo fly down with gravity using the wind!
Helo feels gravity too.

Land, Helo, land!

Not all the parts are circling, most are just shaking.
