well, the important thing was, nobody got hurt. I plant to be at the fun fly, JamesRC. I plan to join in order to get my skills sharpened at my novice stage.
As for the AMA, I am also looking into that.
Ya, just be careful of what you do in public, I won't fly around kids ever.
............
Well, I declare! You ought to be ashamed of yourself!!! Indulging your ego in a situation where you have people YOU are responsible for. A 450 heli probably wont decapitate a kid but it will sure screw em up!
I agree with both. As for the kids situation, at this school, heh, they are quite under controll. Its not like they would go anywhere while I flew, so it made that variable easier. However, the other variable is, what would happen to them if I hurt them, or even killed them? I am very ashamed of myself, and I still cant belive that it flew a foot above my head as well.
I plan to now, If I am to give a demonstration again, to reveiw the standards for such thing, practice repetadly and inexplicatably to thoes standards, so I know I wont skrew up.

For almost killing/severly injuring myself or others, dang you better belive thats all I was deraming/thinking last night... I think I have learned a valuble lessons indeed.
1. I will never fly the 450 for a crowd again, that is, untill I am near expert on it, and have the space to have it out a distance.
2. Never let my ego take over ever again. It could be deadly for myself or others.
3. The audience I was preforming for would be impressed even with a chest-high hover. Keep it to that, so if you feel insecure, just kill the motor.
4. PRACTICE. I am now absolutely SURE that I was not ready to deal with a situation like that.
5. When life gives you deadly (yet controllable) helicopters hurling twords your face, make due with the situation and make sure no one gets hurt. Never cower.
6. Know the standeards for flying in front of a crowd, and act upon them inexplicitably
7. When space does not allow, dont be stupid.
