Safety (vid) we can never be to safe .
hey guys ,just threw this together cause i dont see enough videos on safety. please feel free to add for new guys or even experienced pilots could learn from these as well..
hope i didnt bore ya guys to death here but i do see so many pilots that are an accident waiting to happen , if this helped just one person then im glad i did it. Enjoy. The guy i talked about at the end getting killed, i forgot to mention that we dont want any of our families to go through what these people are going through..

Not bad Greg!
Spotters are always helpful as well to warn the pilot of approaching danger...kids, cars, idiot adults or whatever else happens to wander into the kill zone. Good job |

Important when you are carrying your bird to the takeoff area and your TX may be dangling on a strap around your neck be sure to have throttle hold engaged in case the stick gets moved accidentally.

Excellent video whoanelly, hopefully it will make us think a bit more about safety. I didn't know the tip about hovering with the tail slightly off-line, and I've also got into the bad habit of flying below head-height while I'm learning, so I'll have to address that. What sort of distance should we be hovering our heli's at?
As the hobby becomes more mainstream, the manufacturers should be thinking about this too. I feel most vulnerable when I'm working on the heli setup, it's easy to forget throttle-hold or to knock the collective, and I'd like a simple safety switch on the motor. I also wish there were tethers or hooks to hold onto the blades, the thought of one becoming a projectile is quite scary. Ideally I think RTF heli's should have an auto-stabilization system too. Agree with the suggestion to get insurance cover too, we've got the equivalent in the UK via the BMFA, which I've subscribed to. |

Nice vid. I agree with the sticky idea.
Not to be picky but I always thought AMA meant Academy of Model Aeronautics. John AMA 732104 |

We do need a safety thread sticky in every section.
Big +1 I've seen too many youtube vids of people doing unbelievably bone-headed moves. |

There is also the topic of LiPo batteries charging. I have seen many people to charge these bombs even on the sofa!! Just to inform, wooden blades take up to 2800 RPM. Very nice video overall and good to have here

Might be getting a bit technical but explaining how to set a failsafe when binding and what happens if it is set wrong. Have read about a few close calls and have almost had one get away from me when setup wrong.

Thanks for the video... very important stuff.
BTW, I've been storing lipos in a metal cash box.....got about 6-8 in there. Is this safe enough, or should I be doing more? |
