The accident killed pilot Nick Wallis and two Department of Conservation rangers, who were heading out on the controversial tahr cull operation.
Our newsroom understands occupants of a trailing helicopter saw clothing being sucked out, and wrapping around the tail rotor - unbalancing the machine.
The tail section was found more than 100 metres away from the main wreckage.
However crash investigators are remaining tight-lipped about the investigation, saying they're continuing to gather evidence.
