    Shocking moment man, 24, is killed by flying rotor blade

    Mechanic Sheikh Ismail Sheikh Ibrahim had spent two years building the ultralight helicopter in Yavatmal, central India, and hoped to fly it on India's Independence Day before the fatal test flight.

    Bet you the guys running towards the helicopter after the first failed attempt were like:
    “Hold my beer! I am next! Let me fix it and show you guys how to fly it properly.”

    Dodged rotor shrapnel once. Worked at a backwoods airfield in Humbolt county, boss had a home built Rotorway Exec. Fucking flying volkswagon.
    He was running the thing around tuning it. Battery in front flying solo for CG. Got his girlfriend and kid in going heli-camping in the mountains.
    Forgot to move battery to the rear for CG with passenger.
    Nosed right over on takeoff.
    I was hiding behind a 2x4 in my makeshift paint booth as shrapnel was ripping thru the plastic.
    Fun times!
