Default Almost hit by 450 Pro
While outside testing some 350mm Radix blades on my 450 Pro i was not ready for the doughy elevator response so when flipping to go inverted it was not going as planned so i pulled out of it but also almost sliced me and my camera man up.anyway i learned my lesson and did not crash so not to bad but it was real close.

That has to be the closest call I've ever seen. Glad no one was hurt.

Don't try this at home kids (but great video) - no trips to the hospital, today.

Glad to hear no one got hurt. I got hit by my T-Rex 250, 3 month ago. I was lucky, only got a scratch on top of my head. Nothing serious, it just It bled for a while.
Since then I have been more careful when I am flying.

In the voice of Vizzini from The Princess Bride:
"He didn't crash!?? INCONCEIVABLE!!"





That was pretty amazing!! Wow!

Flying a bigger heli is easier. A bigger heli hits harder though.

But the probability of getting hit by a little one is greater because it's less predictable w/o massive skill.

My nano cp s is super quick. It's no kids toy grade.

I mean say it's facing sideways to me and I press the sticks wrong and it comes towards me and rotates. Because of it's aerial footprint it looks the same size even when it comes close to me but the thing is it's coming at like 50mph.

With the big one you can see what is happening so you can take action before things get too fast and out of control is what I meant.
