RE: Ever hit yourself with a Foamy?

LOL! Guys trust me a foamy can't do much damage! I think sending your kid to school should strike a nervous vain. You guys ever watch football or rugby? Scary stuff right there. By gosh playing golf is seriously dangerous! You know that guy on the hole next to the one you're playing getting his ball smacked a little off course!

Did you guys know that ten pin bowling was at some stage the world's most dangerous sport? Heart attacks and back injuries you can let your imagination do its job on this one.

I also enjoy hovering really close in and have tapped myself a couple of times before with the shocky. It is dangerous! Make sure you cut power to the motor before you hit yourself and you'll be fine! Make sure that you follow basic modeling rules and always remove any sharp edges from your prop before putting it on there and you'll be fine. And yes like what was said before always wear a pair of glasses or sunglasses when playing with these things. A pair of safety glasses is probably the ticket. I've been struck by a tiny stone while standing on the flightline. A guy cleaning hes motor's throat picked up a stone and flung it at my ear, we all know how sensitive ones ear is. I continued flying of course and someone standing in the pits came over and asked me to come land. It was hilarious after he pointed out that blood was running down my neck LOL. I felt the sting but heck enjoying the flight too much overpowered the slight pain

Here is some more funny shockflyer videos in a hotel room. Please note care was taken not to harm any of the 15innocent bystanders in the room who wouldn't leave when asked. Fortunately for us they were all fellow RC pilots young and old
