Yeah, I had a new electric that I was testing. I didn't realize that the throttle was backwards. AND, I didn't realize the tones that the motor was giving off was the "arming" sequence. So, when I plugged the battery in, it beeped.

I thought it was just beeping to show that it was powered up. So, I pushed the throttle to full open, and it beeped twice. When I pulled the throttle back to idle, the thing spun to full.

I pushed the throttle back to full at the same time I reached for the plane as it was in my living room and was headed for my large glass window.

End result: Five stiches on my index finger.

Lesson learned and moral of the story: Don't test electric power with the prop installed.
