This happened to me twice on my 250. First one I fluked out with tall grass but second one not as lucky.
Won't happen again because I now always flip into idle-up mode right after hover -- a habit now. Never fly in "normal" mode anymore.
I tend not to call the idle-up mode "3D" mode. In your mind, you might think you *have* to do tricks with it when, in fact, it can be used just to give the heli better stability in normal foward flight. This is actually how full size helis fly!
Well, looks like it did not suffer in the quick end LOL

The good news is you won't make the same mistake again. Unless I jinx it.
See you on RCU.
