So many butt clench moments!

Sometimes people talk about the rush of this hobby... well I am sure your heart was going fast on that last one! "wait, no please no pleeeeease!" would be what I'd say.

Nice recovery! and great video.

Makes me want to get out there and try some proxy flying, unfortunately the weather in my part of Aus isn't very flight friendly at the moment.

Sure was! After that initial gasp for air my daughter says confidently... "It's in the water daddy." Only words in my head were "NO NO NO NO NO NO!"  Cry Angry Sad Cry Confused Definitely had Lady Luck with me that day.

Thank you very much Snuffy!  High Five
Hopefully it clears up some for you. Fingers crossed. Wink
Prox is a blast! It teaches you a lot of control and how to stay calm on the sticks. (in my opinion) Just bring as many extra parts as you can carry. ROFL Especially props lol. Big Grin
