VIDEO Robinson R44 crashes on takeoff in Parque Lantaño, Chile

Google Translation: In Parque Lantano, Chile, the Robinson R44 type CC-PNJ propelled helicopter fell during the take-off due to the striking of its propeller on the right side of the flag pole. The helicopter came to an unusable state when three people in the crash helicopter were seriously injured. He and I were both in the helicopter and were recording cameras in a cave near their home. The moment the helicopter falls from the inside and the outside is recorded in seconds.

It appears that he was watching it then turns toward his departure route. It could have dipped down as he went into forward flight.
Avoiding the curve is not always best, straight up and with enough margin, translate to forward flight.
