I thought the engine was supposed to run on one rotor. Rought, but enough to

John,
I don't know if you are on Paul's list, but Chuck replied that the engine did continue to run all the way down and extended his glide from 15 to 21 miles. That is good news. He had power to taxi off the road after landing.
