PILOT STATED THE WIND WAS DEAD CALM AND HE WAS STRUCK BY THE 5 BLACKHAWKS ROTOR WASH, AND THE HELICOPTERS WERE ON THE GROUND.

THERE WERE 4 BLACKHAWKS WERE ON THE GROUND DOING THEIR HIT (HEATH INDICATION TEST).  THEY WERE ONLY PRODUCING 1/2 THE POWER NEEDED TO HOVER.

THE EXPERIMENTAL AIRCRAFT WAS OVER 400 FEET FROM THE BLACKHAWKS.  TOO FAR TO BE AFFECTED BY THE ROTOR WASH BEING CREATED.
