hi, latest in my continuing bad luck saga, this down to my own stupidity.
Long story that I wont go into as to why it happened but due to me forgetting to set throttle hold.
Whole afternoon in hospital 12 stitches and lost 10mm and nail off index finger.

Could not show other hand as could only hold camera in the one :)
edit. forgot to say this was done by my rc helicopter.

Oh god no. Do you have any idea how dangerous a house is? Even tea cosies can be fatal. :lol:

Oooh, unlucky. Particularly about losing 10mm off the index finger. I bet that's going to take a while to get used to?
