I used to fly scale model helicopters, jetranger 206. wanted to build an RAH-66 Comanche but sold all my helicopters before then. I saw someone doing 3d aerobatics and lost control. severe lacerations and a broken arm. I put all my stuff up for sale the very next day.

Very sad... RIP. Modern day RC vehicles are a lot more dangerous than most people would realize. Even the cars... I have a few Rustlers and my dad just got the E Revo. These things are so ridiculously powerful that it's more of a challenge to keep the car on all 4 wheels more than anything. You could easily hurt/kill someone if you lost control in the wrong place at the wrong time... Be careful. These are not really "toys" anymore.
