nice recovery, i always make sure to neutralize trim or set as desired prior to pick up.

The tail does indeed strike the deck - but the rotor guard (that metal bar underneath the tail rotor) prevented the tail rotor from actually making contact - the tail rotor shaft would've exploded & come apart had that actually happened.
