Default Helicycle down

Erie Col. Newspaper item about a Helicycle crashed during landing,
collapsed one side of the gear and rolled. A rolled helicopter has a
spinning thingy on top and it usually hits the ground when the helo rolls.
The ride experienced by the pilot shortly after the blade hits the ground
can be remarkable to say the least.
The Colo. pilot received only minor injuries to his body, but major injuries
to his helicopter. Cause TBD.
