Default Kompress hard landing

At the start of the video, the nose of the heli is
pointed almost straight down as if he is coming
out the back side of a loop. I've not done that
many autos, but it didn't look like any of the
ones I've been involved with. It kinda looked
like a loop with not enough ground clearance.
Hard to tell from the clip. One thing for sure is
that his day went south in a hurry... Hope he
survived, because that much deacceleration can
cause massive internal injuries.

I thought that any l;anding that you can walk away from was a good
landing. He walked...a little...



Looked like as soon as his two "crutches" let go of him, he slowly
crumpled to the ground.

Auto gone bad???
