Let's hope that, thanks to science (brain surgery), he will make a full recovery!

It always makes me grimace a little to read how this potentially deadly hobby is reported in this manner... "only one player at a time can send his toy aircraft aloft."

I'm also shocked to see that Hong Kong has just one official flying site!!

Cheers,

I think the term 'model' would've been more appropriate than 'toy' !
Hope he pulls through.

[Stuart]

considering every manual I've ever read clearly states these are not toys. Hope the lad makes a good and full recovery.

I hate the term "toy" used when talking about RC Helicopters.

I would like to think we all know the dangers when flying these models and this time it went terribly wrong.

Hoping the man makes a full recovery.

50-80,000 pilots in hong kong!

I hope he make's a full and fast recovery, and I hope everybody who see's this will take heed, just goes to prove how dangerous these things are, and how fragile the human head is. Where is the bloke who said it was a Toy, maybe he should 'take one in the head' to find out.

Remmeber, your saftey, and those around you IS YOUR responseblity, think before you fly.
