Yea. So, trying to program my new to me ESC and thought.."Well, I don't need to take blades off..programming shouldn't let the ESC arm...."
It armed.
The carnage.
Literally a 1 second spinup.
7 gashes on my left forearm
1 nice scrape on my right wrist
Bent flybar, cracked blades, and one shattered ego. :o:oops::oops::oops:
TAKE OFF THOSE BLADES WHEN WORKING.

Sorry that happened. If you knew there was a danger, why did you skip all the safety steps? :dontknow

Those were the flybar paddles on my 450 ;) Blades shattered instantly when they hit the wall. ;)
