by looking on the video you can see that he turned it on a 90 degree angel and the phantom flew towards the wall before trying to turn back to its GPS position.
Good God! How stupid can one kid be....

Actually, I just realized it was the kid himself that put the "fail" video up and edited in the "don't try this at home" portion. All props for that kind of humility. At least he's admitting he was kind of a ******* (like we all are from time to time). Bravo kid! Keep that attitude, it'll serve you well.

Perhaps in the eyes of less intelligent people who generalise and lack critical thinking skills. I see far more videos of adults wreaking havoc with their Phantoms than I see kids like the kid in the video. The whole rational thinking ability doesn't develop for some as they come of age. Keep flying smart and don't worry about being seen as a bad pilot for what this guy did.
The Phantom was never forced into a position where the props were on a vertical plane, it did that to itself.
It looks to me like he grabbed the compass.

The force is strong in this one, I just had to subscribe to his youtube channel
I'm getting the popcorn ready right now...
The Days just started and it's made already

Remember he could just be misunderstood, truly really, well not really really.

In his next Video we'll see him drop water-balloons and eggs onto peoples from 50-100m high ! I wish his Phantom get tired of this and attempt to fly or swim back to China !
Don't be too hard on him, I've been chatting to him and he's a good kid. Look we've all done more stupid things at that age and even at the age we are at now. He's got a good sense of humour about it all including all the comments here
Edit: but he did say it was hard reading all these comments, he's learned his lesson and I told him to just get on with learning to fly and wow us with a cool vid. I for one am gonna stick up for him from now and I hope others will follow suit?

It's always good to let someone else made the mistake so you can learn by them.
I think most of us have set it in a hover and gave it a small push to see how stable it was. He just took it a little too far.

We watching the same video? He pretty well had it pointed at the wall. A couple more feet and it would have recovered.
Hopefully others will learn something from it.
Agreed. Here is my last comment to him on his YouTube video.:Don't be too hard on him, I've been chatting to him and he's a good kid. Look we've all done more stupid things at that age and even at the age we are at now. He's got a good sense of humour about it all including all the comments here

"OK, I'm gonna lighten up on you now. You seem to be totally aware of your mistake and fess up to it. I would like to see you join the Drone Forums where you can read the good and bad of whats going on. You will learn a lot as I have and have plenty of people to ask questions and lend you support. Good luck with the drone. I truly hope you did get away with only a broken prop."
