OOOWWWWW!!!!!
 
I just got done fixing my Rotofly, was running the motor and checking the controls and function of everything when the flybar paddle came off and hit me in the face.......at full throttle. THAT HURT! [sm=angry_smile.gif][sm=angry_smile.gif][sm=angry_smile.gif] Now I've got a pretty good cut on my cheek and my wife is now afraid of my helicopter.

If this thing breaks again before I get at least one good flight out of it I'm gonna kill it. [sm=punching.gif]

Just don't stomp it into a shapeless mass of parts-- that's been done. You'll have to be creative if you want to post pictures :D.

Hope you're OK, rob-- most people that have helis have hit themselves with something at one time or another, but it's important to keep the rotor plane aligned with heavy clothing or (better) no part of you at all. With the bigger ones only the latter is a correct choice.
