wow!!!that looks bad,some people just dont know how serious
this is,safety is the biggest thing in this hobby,i remember in an earlier post some guy trying to stop a Raptor 90se while it was beating it self up on the ground with the engine stock at high speed

alot of times is people not willing to take a bigger loss,so they try to minimise the damage by trying to stop a moving rotor (very dumb move i would say)im not implying that this guy in the picture did any of the above,it simply looks bad

i think i would of just took my shirt and throw it at the heli,that would of stoped it for sure,or maybe that ridiculous hat

the receiver battery came out of the heli while the heli was at high head speed so he had no control of the heli,i've never seen a flaping chicken and a monkey dance before

Just kidding guys,i mean no disrespect by this,but rather see things alitle humorous thats all

I through shirt at a heli once, it was heart breaking i had just landed and it was spooled and just stopped working, no response and it was in a smaller parking lot, so my dad(it was his heli) just through the shirt on it. Cost about 100$ but at least no one ws hurt.

I'd hate to see the guy trying to kick his rappy that's flopping around stop his out of control lawnmower. As far as the other guy, OUCH!

thats what i would do,so how much was the shirt?
so it could of been expensive if your dad was wearing a Versace

i had a flapping chicken on my new Raptor 90SE and im talking New Three Years ago caused by a faulty regulator,poor thing it beat it self to death and there was nothing i could do,the damage was something around $700 but i rather repair the heli than having to repair my self and on top of that still have to repair the heli

i finaly got tired of dealing with the Raptor and sold it to get a trex 600,best move i've ever done,but anyway the most important thing in this hobby is safety otherwise it wont be fun

Just what does happen when you throw a shirt on an idled up heli?

I once had my TJ go nuts on my and lost throttle control...

After flying about for a couple of minutes to try to keep the headspeed down (was a nooby in a field on my own) and i lost my nerve so brought her down gentily into some nipple heigh grass...

Turned out to be a good move... didnt even bend the flybar
