Flying in the street

Not a good idea, no wonder model flying gets a bad name sometimes.

GET ON WITH IT BOOOOOOO pmsl

[Zero]

Every article we read, and every piece of advice we are given always tells us how careful we must be: law-abiding in all respects, avoiding all risks, never being impulsive. Point is are we really alive? Our lives have become utterly boring and predictable, because we are never prepared to take any chances.

OK, I know it’s one thing taking a chance that can only affect you, but when the decision affects other people, it becomes unfair. If this guy had come to me and asked me whether he should do it, I would have said definitely not. Not in a million years. So why have I watched the video four times?

Of course we have to be careful, but are we taking it too far in our everyday lives? We don't go on holiday in case someone breaks into the house, we don't install a fireplace because of the fire risk, we don't cycle because we might get run over, we don't get a dog, because rabies is a killer. Of course these are all valid considerations: no one wants to have a break-in or get rabies, but there is a point where we have to accept risk is part of a life that is really lived.

People didn't get to the top of the food chain by being careful. There must have been a person who was the first one to try lighting a fire with two sticks, who hollowed out a tree trunk to make a canoe and who figured out how to cultivate wild plants. These were not careful people. The first one could have set himself on fire, or got Carpal tunnel Syndrome, the second one could have drowned and the third one could have got a nasty nettle rash and food poisoning. But the exhilaration if it worked!

And no-one can quite say it like these three people:

• “The greatest risk to man is not that he aims too high and misses, but that he aims too low and hits.” Michelangelo
• “If you risk nothing, then you risk everything.” Geena Davis
• “A ship is safe in harbor, but that's not what ships are for.” William G.T. Shedd

[Telehandler]

Ive done loads of daft things on bikes, Best one was practicing for the tandragee100 while the roads were still open to the public with a camera on the tank.

The Garda werent best impressed! LOL

Means nothing without video proof!

Well.....n00by you could stuff the damage to your precious toy helicopter, I would be more concerned about the damage to my brand new Mercedes, you would be concerned about the probable £5000 bill to respray it...Insurance?.......I probably think not in your case

This are some very irresponsible attitudes being posted here

Every member on the forum seems to have been sucked into this black hole of a thread! If we're not careful we could end up in another dimension where helis don't exist, now how shite would that be :-/

Well, if this thread was to designed to provoke, then it's certainly done a good job!
