I know of a few people that could learn from your post here. WOW !!! Just WOW !!! Some people do know how to apologize. What a wonderful post and I am glad it was readily and speedily accepted.
This post should be one of this site's mandatory sticky notes at the top of the page. Many Many people, from members to moderators, could and should learn from you and this post. This site would be far better if they did.
All IMHO of course.
And I thought grown men aren't supposed to cry. (?)
Let me wipe my tears away before I respond.
Seriously, never meant to step on anyone's toes, or post stuff that was too much for the general public to see.
A few months ago, Rather blindly I shared a graphic pic of a hand that had been seriously sliced numerous times in an industrial accident. Likely a meat slicer. I ignorantly posted that pic, in a thread about hand catching our Phantom 3, after a successful flight. I never handle my larger models when the blades are still spinning. And thought that pic would be a great example of what could happen, if you ever do have an accident. I guess use your imagination. Accidents do happen, and there is no turning back.
I have never forgotten the sight (picture far too graphic posting here) of a forum friend from Helifreak.com, that had a fatal accident, with his Heli, in New York a couple summers ago.
Doing an inverted hover and auto rotation, with his large heli, a gas powered Align TRex 700.
Poor fella, dumb thumbed the radio control, pushed the throttle up instead of down, and the darn model flew straight down and killed him instantly. He was the co captain of their flying club, his father, the team captain was right there when it happened, and saw the worst sight, he will never forget. Please fly and land yours responsibly, even with our light weight drones.
We all have an awful lot to be thankful for, and so much to look forward to in our short lives. Even those of us who are afflicted with injury or disease can still have a rich and rewarding life. Having a great forum, to share in and participate on, may be one of the only satisfactions in some folks lives. It certainly brings me much of that joy. So it's all of our duties, to help make it as warm and friendly as can humanely be done. It's not up to the forum mods to babysit and feed us our favourite pablum, if we can't behave as mature adults, gentlemen and ladies included. With mostly well educated, and very well heeled pedestrians in our mix. Keep your boot heels clean guys. Hahaha
Trying to walk like a true gentleman, but often a steppingstone out of line.
I appreciate, being appreciated, who doesn't? So I wish to thank anyone who wrote me PM's or shared their kind words and thoughts in this and other forum threads.
In this crazy mixed up muddled up planet, and times We all need to be the best Us that we can be. ;-)
Make it one of your missions every day, to consciously smile at someone, and brighten their day too.
And say Thank You, it means a lot. "Thank you, so much." Mucho gracias Señor.
Now I have a few more tears to shed. It's healing, you know. Must be a secret chemical released in the brain.
Activated by our open tear ducts. Hahaha
Maybe now you will understand my happy landing feelings.
Have fun, fly safe, happy landing.
