    Most people have seen the flight of Heli-Graphix lifting the girl. Well this is how they actually prepared to do the lift. Quite fascinating

      I have ambivalent feelings. I will not post this photo of Roman Pirozek head after lethal accident nor link. It is easy to Google it.

      X7 caused simmilar lethal accident in Switzerland in 2013.

      I just do not share authors enthusiasm regarding safety.

      On the other hand X7 is awesome and this videos shows it can lift 5 times its weight.

      I do not mind if they experiment with heavy weight. I wonder if people involved were aware of real danger.

      I do not want to preach. I just see photo of Roman. It is imprinted in my brain.

      Yesterday when I was flying 700 I lost control for one second. It could be lost radio link or other cause. I did not crash but I was scared. Electronics can fail, mechanic parts can fail.

      They were looking for publicity. They want to be famous. I got it.

      I do not like it.

      Example of plank propeller injury:

      Now imagine 700mm blades cutting flash and bones.

      yeah, I agree, Roman did not look pretty afterwards. I did see some very close flying by Roman in heavy wind ( which was later taken down) was pretty clear to me what was going to happen next ( zero safety margin )

      Pic which you refer to above was made by boat propeller.
