Scariest moment i have had yet!!

[lgray88]

I was out again tonight with my 600, been trying my best to get atleast 4 or 5 flights for last few days or so. Got alittle carried away as there were a few people watching and asking questions. I am yet to start the timer function on my dx8 and while i was pushing hard into a fast forward flight the engine cut out at about 80ft. Initially i was thinking is the engine f**ked and it seemed that i just autoed the heli sub-conciously, thank god for phoenix. This hobby never ceases to amaze me!
