Man!! We need to meet up. I laughed for a solid half hour. My eyes are so sore I can still hardly read/type properly. Darth, The way you said it as well, tore me to shreds!!!

Just wanted to say I'm glad to see there are so many nutballs out there. I don't feel so alone anymore!

As for my story:

My heli thinks he's James Bond at times. It thinks the quickest exits out of my 11th floor apartment is through the window!

How did I do such A stupid thing.........wife was busy putting her key into the door. The fright alone of what she would do if she caught me flying a nitro in the house was too overwhelming. Panic struck, Bodily hairs rose, left thumb went forward. She was supposed to be home at 8, not 6.45.


Damage to heli: $0. (Beleive it or not, I flew it right back in after regaining altitude.)

New window: +/- $120 = +/- R900-00 (South Africa,

Cape Town) + three nights in the spare room.


It is surprising how we take chances with this heli. Something we wouldnt dare do with other aircraft........ But the dude who wacked his light bulb deserves to be knighted in the LMH forums.
