Thanks for the kind words guys... It helps a lot. Its hard right now, but in time will get better... Its hard to be in the hobby room and not having my companion by my side. Currently Its hard to spend the time in there. However, I can't even muster what Ray's daughter is feeling at the moment with the loss of her father. My prayers are definately directed towards her right now.

I'am so very grateful you didn't sustain more damage to yourself than what already has happened. I swear, I'am more afraid of my 450 than my other birds just because of the headspeed those little guys can dish out. I really need to be more careful also, and not lose the respect of these dangerous heli's. Mainly because for one, I fly alone which is not a good thing, and usually when I fly its quiet and early in the morning. I always make sure I have my cell-phone with me just in case, and there is a field first aid kit in the car among that. The best thing for me is to just use extra precautions. JPEE's story of the nose-in's with that gent's face being re-arranged, now has me looking at a different approach of how I do things also.

I'am so glad your with your loved ones, and I know your going to have a wonderful time there for sure. Safe journey's when you do come back home.
