Yes, I learned that very important lesson that day.
This is my first venture into electric flight, so I'm sure I'll learn more lessons along the way; just so long as it doesnt cost me anything(appendage wise that is)
On another note, another friend of mine got a foam B29 with four electric motors; similar to those airhogs planes that use motor speed to control everything. I think this was his first venture into rc flight period. He flew it and broke it a couple times; Fixed it up and brought it over to the same guys house to show it to him. Mind you this was after our little incident with the throttle. The B29 owner handed him the remote and this time he was careful not to touch any of the controls. Next thing he hears is "ready?" just as he turns to see the B29 owner chucking the plane into the sky he screams Nooooooo! He managed to keep it in the air for a few seconds. ROFL
