I think you have learned a valuable lesson and the fact you are willing to share your story here
really says something about your integrity. This will encourage others to do the right thing before they fly.

Personally, I feel that everytime I fly my heli, the people around me are at risk. I try to lower that risk
by keeping them away from the heli and am willing to put it into the ground if it gets close to our pit area.
This very thing happened to my Freya 90 a couple of weeks ago but it is worth more to me to be safe than
to risk people's lifes or limbs.

Do you know who the Colorado Rotorheads are? They are based in Denver. They had a fun fly at Chatfield
state park in May.
