    Gonna be some delays....


    Put that vid in slow mo and I think his head goes back and to the left.
     
    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!
