Thanks for asking tony. Complications at the hospital meant I sat in hospital all day without anything happening, now rescheduled for friday AM. Aaanyyyyywaaaay, as you may or may not know, i've just started learning helicoptors, THE hardest form of Rc.

Alas, 450 size heli with carbon rotors + sudden gust of strong wind + right hand to protect myself = smashed up digits in four places :cry:

Hope to see you all soon. Missing you guys.

Hi Lionel. Ouch!! Makes being hit in the shin when marshalling very tame.
Wondered where you had been. Do you have any fingers left. Suppose that put you off work as well? Had a friend with a pallet business who managed to chop a few fingers off one day. It was a long recovery unfortunately. He did say that the advantage was that when he went to the loo he had fewer fingers to piss on. True story.
Anyway, mate, hope everything goes well for you. Look forward to seeing you soon.

Hope the op goes well Lionel! It is nasty when the heli is magnetically attracted to all objects around especially yourself!

Maybe that's why mine is still sat on top of the wardrobe!
Seen people nearly slice their fingers off hand starting planes!
Not good, so far with both 1/10th and 1/8th RC cars I have only burnt myself and stuck my fingers together whilst glueing tyres up!
Best of luck see you soon Lionel

Sorry to hear of your terrible injuries, hope all go's well for you.
At least you can stop playing with yourself for a few weeks :thumbsup:

so why the thumbs up?:lol:
