I can't believe this, even the smoke alarm is going off.

I think that is the stupid alarm you hear in the background. Every house should have one. I've seen one of the photographs you see the flash for. I didn't realize they had captured it on video. For perspective, that is a Raptor 90 and is 11 lbs of chopper with a 3 horsepower engine :eek:. The blades are experiencing around 600lbs of force at the root and the tips are travelling at 300mph. People like this are why there are so many restrictions on fun things.

Looks like that's the pilot standing in the doorway to the backyard. (Has the right posture, and looks like he's holding a TX)... If that's the case, he's the only one in the room with an ounce of self preservation instincts. (He's got places to run to) Those guys on the couch are sitting ducks when he has a TX glitch.

Not the coldest couple of beers in the fridge... that's for sure.

Yikes:eek:

After seeing the vid of the heli that crashed and the throttle stuck open and then procedeeded to thrash itself to bits on the ground. Imagine if something like that happened in this living room.

The conversation at the hospital with the doctor would be interesting:p

Cheers,
Dave

It's possible, if the guys on the couch are the same blood type, you might be able to combine the undamaged parts of the wreckage to make one working model, frankenstein style.
