Red Bull Cobra vs EC135 - two turbine helis one crash

Sepp Schmirl was our special guest on the first "Sturmfliegen" on 1.10.2011 from the Gloggnitzer Auflieger group. This is the second video I did of his Cobra - and you can see that he learned much since the first vid in 2009!
The crash was sad to watch - but he managed the emergency very well!

After getting the EC-135 home, could you please post your findings. Why did it crash? And are you going to start practicing your auto rotations.

Shit. I am very sad for the owner. What was the reason?
