Re: Death by R/C Helicopter.
And here we have a perfect example of some silly individual who would love to illegalize anything fun under the sun. Lets make pogo sticks and cars illegal while we are at it! And for Christ's sake, why are water guns legal!? You could put gasoline inside them and make a flame thrower! Holy fuck! Let's make going outside illegal also! Get a fucking life. This is about the most retarded comment I've seen on here in a long time.  |

Re: Death by R/C Helicopter.
The article says it concerned a gas powered RC helicopter, but I would have imagined anything with a gas turbine is going to be huge, definitely a lot bigger then the heli that guy was holding. Who is wrong, the article or me? I know the small electro and petrol engines are commonly used in RC vehicles, but I would assume a gas turbine, with it's much greater complexity, would be difficult to miniaturise to the size of his RC heli. I once saw a video on YouTube of an RC heli which did have actual gas turbines, but that thing was huge, probably the size of a large motorbike or a SMART car.

Re: Death by R/C Helicopter.
No lapse in judgement when there is no judgement at all. As you said, he was careless. I would say that he had the illusion that he was bulletproof. Evidently not |
