BadAuto= Larry doesn't push right pedal fast enough.

Practicing Hovering Autorotations I didn't push the right pedal quick enough to avoid a left out of control rotation and pitching over. I countered with right cyclic and eventually got the right pedal down while pulling some collective and avoided a rollover or blade strike. Close call. Another lesson. The next few autos were much better - but are planned autos "real"? Hopefully they are real enough.

awsome bond, larry bond.just love that sound of those rotor blades winding down.

In the military we call these cut-guns. Freeze the collective, stop yaw and drift, then cushion, cushion, cushion. Nerve-wracking, but fun once you get the hang of them. Can you do a full 90 or 180 autorotation from altitude yet?

Don't tell me his last test failed!

You remind me of the guy that used to test his own bullet proof vests. Keep it on the skids and tame that wild beast. Looks like a blast
