Steps To Reproduce	Pilot CH-47f on the ground 1. Wheelbrake on 2. Engine on 3. Raise Collective to ~1/4 4. Gently pull back on the cyclic until the front wheels rise from the ground 5. Go into 3rd person and observe from the side 6. Increase pitch by pulling farther back on the cyclic and applying additional collective as needed 7. Observe the rear suspension unload as it begins to lever on an invisible point behind the model 8. Continue to increase pitch 9. Spontaneously Explode.
