My heart rate has finally subsided, though my depression is still fairly high. I will be making an insurance claim for the prop strike - the numbers really add up quickly. I blame no one but myself for my prop strike. It was a poor decision on my part- in spite of walking the ground first. That said, what the helicopter pilot did was very inconsiderate and indirectly cost the aviation community about $15,000. I don't blame him for my poor decision, but I do blame him for putting me in a position to have made a poor decision. Matt
