| I had a minor incident this morning while flying my HB in the back yard. I was getting a little fancy for my inexperience (and the 7 mph wind gusts) and crashed my HBFP into my house. I was very surprised that the rotor blades put a hole in the vinyl siding! After a good butt-chewing from the boss (yes, my lovely wife), I began to inspect my HB and was surprised the damage was limited...a small crack in the canopy nose and broken ball on the outer paddle assembly. Below are a couple of pics of the damaged siding. I promised the boss I will be more careful in the future. 
On a serious note though, this illustrates that even a fixed-pitch heli with plastic blades can inflict damage. I would not want to be hit by the HB's rotor blades.
