Thread dedicated to reporting RC Heli accidents, quote some lessons learnt, if you can (If there is any), for the sake of others

Fly safe guys this guy had an angel watching over him or he would have been dead

true, he was just lucky to be safe else the head would have chopped off

i think all need to wear a gladiator dress while flying.

OOO that was close man , Shannon seeing this  i think we should fix the MSH on the 600 not the 480 lol

we should get the gladiator shield too

Ya a couple of them  ,  now that Shannon is gonna get  a 550 ,we would require them 

very motivating joe 

respect helis..  Sport flying is OK.. but i hate 3d. extreme radical movements has lot of stress on the machine. .   not worth it..

Sujit helis were meant for scale and sports flying ,until someone got bored doing that and thought ,what next 

@ Shannon dude you scared us by posting this video lol

Is that guy wearing armour on his back? because the blade hit his back and nothing happened to him also some mechanism broke when the blade hit is back and he seems okay, the blade must have hit him hard but nothing happened to him Lol it seems odd. If he has no armour then the human backbone can take a hit from a CF blade rotating at god knows how high speeds and break a helicopter.I think just before the blade hit him he cut throttle.To the human backbone

Looks like the tail rotor hit the ground, and the heli lost tail authority and started spinning.  The flyer realized this and hit throttle hold, it seems.  That would have damped the impact of the blades on him.

Still, this goes to show that RC crafts, and helis in particular, are to be treated with caution/respect.

rightly said anwar..

but do u do 3d???   

Somewhat

hehe... .. i do sport flying most of the time..

This is another reminder to all of us to be careful with the machines.

Keep it at a safe distance n always do preflight checks.

RIP

Horror as remote-control helicopter stunt pilot, 19, DECAPITATES himself with his  aircraft after he lost control
Roman Pirozek Jr, 19, was an avid RC helicopter hobbyist
He specialized in performing dare-devil tricks with his powerful $1,500 model helicopter
His own father watched as the blades of the 6-pound RC flyer sliced off a piece of his head
He was dead when police arrived
