I saw the explanation for the fenestron thing befor... went something like this:

 

New pilot in the company, doesnt know his crew are all hot shotsand sets down nice and carefully (in austrailia) and as soon as he gets the rotors stopped he clears the crew to go do there thing... the crew all jump out from near forward of the CofG and poof, helicopter falls backwards. The angle throws you off a bit aswell. the movie is cut up and edited for time, so it doesnt show the whole warm up.

 

I want to see the dynamic roll over vid of a similar incedent, happened with mud I think.

Deuce -----maybe you had the same rock doctor I had one time. He gets out with daily newspaper folded-up like the newspaper boy does it and stuck into the back right pocket of his jeans. His bloody feet disappear aft in my sling mirror real quick before I can say "boo". Moments later he's next to my side window holding the newspaper.......shredded 3/4 of the way down. He tells me moments later after shutdown that he BENT over and stepped UNDER the tail-boom and felt something hitting the newspaper that was then sticking upright out of his pocket.

 

Our rock doctor needed to be told NOTHING more because he knew how close he had come.......so I said not a word because suspected his shorts were also stained. It didn't even bend the tabs on the end of the T/R blades.
