I can actuly see what you mean by that.... So indeed the fomie would survive. The helicopter, though... i depends. I blade strike is probably the biggest concern, but plastiblades and carbon probaby wont have an issue there. As for the main shaft... thats another depending one. Maybe, maybe not. depends on alot of things. your probably right now that i think of it. So id inform my firend if my helicopters not crashed, his life is spared.... for now.... So id watch out on keeping my distance, lazer tag ONLY, no ribbons (too dangerous).
