My Heli just belted me in the face

Dan,

I hope you are not too put off by your experience, most of us have learnt one way or another that model helis of any size should be treated with the utmost respect.

Look what happened to me recently;

I am glad no real harm or damage was done, but dont forget to learn from this valuable lesson

Cheers,
Pete.

you were lucky,

i on my raptor and zoom i make use of the throttle hold switch, not set to preform autos but to stop the engine revving whilst walking the heli to from the pits to the flying area, just in case i catch the throttle stick.

the only problem i see with this is once i start doing autos can i use the throttle hold for both uses, but thats another thread

im not put off at all. In fact i like it more. I respect it more now
