How to fly a helicopter (model)

Instructions on flying model copter. "Warning"
"When crash it with the main blades and then stop turning. When low in pressure or excess of charger or excess of push. And then helicopter battery will protect it automatically. It will appears phenomena of power off functrion and no function. Please re-open the on-off and will resume use it normally." WTF. Guess will never make a copter pilot!!

Every fling-wing pilot I've met was a bit wacky. This explains why :lol:

Man that brings me back to 80s computer hardware manuals. But my favorite was this Javascript question posted recently thanks to Google Translate:
This is question, English is faulty. Thank computer to translate to help. SORRY!!!!!

As often, the goat-time install a error is vomit.

How many times like the wind, a pole, and the dragon?

This insult to father's stones?

Please apologize for your stupidity. There are a many thank you

And actually FSS, to someone used to Japanese sentences those instructions make perfect sense.

When the copter crashes, the auto protection system will turn off power to the rotor. If that happens you need to reset the on/off switch and it will work normally again.

This guy doesnt start flying until 25 sec into the video and by 30 sec you'll be hooked for the next 4 mins.

I can't quite figure out exactly why but I found that very difficult, almost disturbing, to watch. :?
