That's why RC Helis are NO Toys!! Unfortunatly people don't see it that way. This video has past for over a year and in the meanwhile lot's of small accidents happend lately. As accidents happen all the time in extreme sports (as i call it) . Every starter should get a workshop or some sort of small educational training to prevent these kind of incidents. One of my friend gives workshops around the country and most are very pleased by it. Get informed before you start this hobby :) Good Luck!

0:46 , That is clealry a 450 , Electric and they have dubed a 90 sized engine sound in , Why ?

And what a prick , Number 1 . he shouldent be flying anywere near people

And 2 . he should not be flying that close to a airbase , its only takes a brown out for one to get loose keep climbing altitude then it could of taken a full sized aircraft out ,

Silly boys , take those Align t shirts off you dont deserve to wear them.

@sootydave1 I thought full AMA membership only covered accidents at an AMA approved field. I could be wrong.

I fly a small 450 size heli at the park... and if I see even one person, Mission Abort.  You never know.

@robbie2737 No i meant that it was weird that the helicopter they showed was a 450 electric heli you cant get a nitro 450 and they dubbed a ic 90 engine sound over it to make it sound more meaty , i do belive she got hit by a 600 if it is the heli the guy is walking away with that is a 600mm blade bloody big ... or if it was the yellow one under his rm that is a 500 by the looks wich is still really big i have only ever been hit by a 450 that bloody hurt.

I would bet my last buck to say this was a complete accident..These things are very dangerous...I seriously doubt there was any foul play...most guys like myself love this sport and would never hurt anyone purposely..but let this be a message learned to my fellow flyers..we must always be cautious no matter how good our flying day may be...It's really just common sense...Hopefully she recovered ok

@hod05 I don't think it was a palm sized heli....I think theu labled the video in correctly

[robbie2737]

@SleepEat3D Yes u are correct,That is a 450 but that heli you saw was just an example from a you tube video...the news station needed something to show it's audience...so they dug out a clip from you tube...not sure exacly what actual heli clipped her

I believe that it is unfair to post this video without posting a link to the follow-up story in which the helicopter community came out against these guys and their irresponsible behavior, and we donated a ton of money to the family of the victim.

Most of us RC pilot's plane or heli and i fly both. wouldn't fly in a park. I'm lucky i live on a farm and so fly with ease, But i still have a full AMA membership, Just in case. The inevitable accident happens......
