RC-Hangout

Wow, I know he's good and has the money to replace what ever breaks but that's not smart at all. If something would of gave out on the heli, it can break something or even worse... hurt someone. A little common sense is needed to operate ANY rc vehicle. This isn't one of those time

I've seen a number of videos lately (not here, but on FB and whatnot) that are really pushing the boundaries of safety. One in particular was a 700+ size heli being flown at a recent fun fly and the pilot flew a couple of maneuvers very close to himself and a person on the line with him. So much so I think the nearby spectator (who was presumably used to be near high level 3d flying) backed off a bit. Impressive skill is great, but when you get too comfortable with it and start to lose your respect for the machines and the risks involved (brown outs, Tx/Rx drop outs, static induced drop outs, various mechanical failures and material defects, misjudged distances and flight lines, etc.) you're practically asking for a bad injury to happen.
