Same story here on USA today

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...opter/2773501/

Prayers go out as he was obviously a talented Pilot - not a beginner (Especially since one story said he flew "Turbine Powered" heli's)

Even then, Gas, Nitro, Electric, anything with 2' carbon blades moving at 400 MPH is no joke, and we all take safety in this hobby very seriously.

Sad that we have to be reminded of the danger

one article suggested his Dad was the Club President or the CD at the field....
