- My nightmare... :(
Update: After 17,000 views I am sad to report that over 50% of the audience judges the video before they finish it, thereby not even knowing what was really going on. The other portion believes this is some sort of conspiracy to enact restrictive laws on drone use, or they fear such laws and so they over react on this one. Sigh.. Guys, this happened to me, and I realized something... I screwed up, and I am sharing that mistake and my thoughts with all of you in the hope that some of you may avoid my error. But for the record, what you decide to do is up to you. I could care less. I was talking about me.

You forgot to include the cost of the new underwear you probably needed! :o) Nice save - very lucky indeed. Thanks for sharing.
HA! Best post of the day right here...
Wow, that was close
rickvanman nah he shits his pants on the regular.
Wow...I cant believe how many comments were made when the person obviously did not watch or pay attention to the entire video. I am happy however that nothing was really hurt but your pride. Thanks for sharing.
Cool video man, it's good that you pay attention to this problem. Lot of folks seem to have forgotten this.
Some good lessons: Choose location, Practice, Drones are very tough. Thanks for sharing. I've had mine less than a week and haven't gone up over 200m, all over a field. I'm pretty nervous about smashing the thing.
My first takeoff was supposed to be a hover and no more. It sent the thing up and out of sight over my house. I pulled all the power and let it crash in the snow. It broke three props and still works otherwise.
This is good stuff for all the rest of us who need to learn somewhere.
Thanks for sharing. I'm about to get my own copter and I'm trying to learn all that I can so I don't repeat other's mistakes.
The FAA estimates there are over a million drones out there. As of this writing, no American has ever been seriously injured by one. Compare that to the thirty or so Jet Ski DEATHS each year, and the 700+ recreational ATV hospital visits. Yeah... there are risks, but they have a pretty impressive track record for safety.
+Radiation Network I would consider only one of those you listed to be a "serious" injury. It was in England. I don't consider a superficial cut or a contusion (i.e., a bruise) to be a serious injury. It would be better if they didn't happen, but they're hardly comparable to the dozens of deaths each year with Jet Ski's, ATV's, etc. It's a new hobby that involves a moving object. There are going to be some injuries.
+DCDrone Who gives a crap dude if you don't like to see people riding Motorcycles then don't watch them, let people do what they want to do, also Radiation Network has a point.
+DCDrone Also people and the news need to stop saying its a drone because it is a multirotor or quadcopter.

That is the same link I put
Solution, stick an FPV camera in there and practice flying in manual mode. You can fly all you want and not lose track of it, and if you get another flyway, go to manual and bring it back to visual range.
Glad no one got hurt.
There's a guy flying his phantom over bridges with masses of traffic. Over public streets in san francisco and beaches. He lost control a few times but continues to do it because in his words it's "Fun" and "Scenic"
A tale well told. The quality of the avionics now is such that in an emergency, the best thing to do is not try to control the situation, you normally wind up making it worse. Let the autopilot sort it out, the outcome is usually better without human intervention. Also, altitude is your friend, it buys time to get the situation stabilised. Most people, when they see something going wrong, try to land in a hurry. This hardly ever works. Fly higher and you might get control back and be able to land (or ditch) somewhere under YOUR control.
Thanks for this thoughtful message that all of us need to take very seriously. Think before you fly.
What a great way to make an important point. Kudos for an insightful video.
First of all, you rock dude. We all share experiences, and we love you. I have smashed my drone and the fact you share your boom is inspiring. Keep flying we love you.
Fantastic video, the quality of the footage is excellent from the GoPro/Gimbal. I have just bought a Hubsan X4 H107C, would have loved a Phantom II but as I am bound to make some mistakes I thought I would practice on a lightweight and low cost quad first having never flown anything more than a 2 channel heli toy before.
Your video has confirmed that this is wise, totally believing the damage you stated...how happy I am to hear that the costs and effects were actually minimal!
Pretty sure I will get hooked on this hobby, I've been thinking about it for some time now and the Phantom II looks like my next logical step. You were unlucky that the gimbal detached, I suppose in hindsight it teaches us that pre-flight checks are a must, but also to assume that these crashes will happen no matter how careful we are and that we need to consider the safety of ourselves and others.
Thank you for sharing, so many of us would only wish to show the successful moments.
This is the first crash video I watch on UA-cam where the “pilot” actually gets conscience of how much damage he could have done... And the huge fine he could've paid.
The drones are not toys, I think it should be clear by now already. Not even those really little microquadcopters. Drones should only be used by trained professionals, or by amateurs only in the selected areas in the field, far from people and other aircrafts.
The only complain I have is that it is written *_gimbal_*, not _-gimble-_ or something.
Well done.. (I watched all the video!)... a lesson for all us pilots, and what can go wrong if you don't take the proper precautions and fly in built up areas. Ive had my PH2 now for over a year and only had one scary moment which ended with no drama thankfully, but taught me a lesson - just sometimes for whatever reason drones have a mind of their own and do what they want, ALWAYS be prepared for that moment!
Did you try to CSC shutdown before it went across the road?
aw man, that hurts. as a fellow phantom owner, i feel for you, that really is the worst possible scenario. i will take this as a cautionary tale....
Ian Parks You are very kind Ian, but I hope you watched the WHOLE thing.. Nothing bad really happened.. It's more about what COULD have happened.
I liked this video mate, thumbs up. Cheers from the IGY Simpson Bay Marina, Sint Maarten in the Caribbean.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SHARING THIS WITH ME.. I FLY EVERYDAY IN PARKING LOTS, BY THE MALL OR HIGH SCHOOL STADIUMS CLOSE TO MY HOUSE. YOU JUST MADE ME REALIZE HOW CARELESS I'VE BEEN. EVEN THOUGH I ONLY FLY MY PHANTOM VISION 2 (WITH A HARD GIMBAL) I NEED TO BE MORE COGNIZANT OF FLYING AROUND PEOPLE.. I ONLY FLY MY PHANTOM 2 WITH ZEMUSE GIMBAL AND GO PRO WHEN IM RECORDING PROPERTY AND NO ONE IS IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA. THANKS
You have more awareness now.. I feel good I posted this cause of you.. Thanks for sharing.
"YOU JUST MADE ME REALIZE HOW CARELESS I'VE BEEN."
I'd like to make you realize that there is a caps lock key on your keyboard. please get acquainted with it...
As a new Phantom owner with a few short unexciting flights under my belt, I wanted to thank you. It takes a lot these days to show your mistakes to the public. I am curious to how long you've owned yours before this happened. I know we all make mistakes, but understandably more so for new so called pilots like myself. But if you've been flying for quiet sometime, then it goes to show, even the intermediate to advanced flyers have just the same kind of troubles as everyone else. Again, thanks for the vid.
Please...don't troll.
Lol
This is so sad! It was just a freak accident, who'd expect the gimbal to fall off like that? So sorry! One thing though.. The higher cost drones like the s1000 are even more of a hazard, not less. They still crash and they have much, much larger propellers and weigh a whole lot more. Not to mention, the fancy carbon fiber propellers on the larger ones are like spinning knives. Waaaaay more damage could come from higher end drone than a phantom. The only thing that's safer about the high end ones is that not any idiot can afford one. If you have the money and need for one, you probably know what you're doing. But that only prevents careless crashes, this one was a total freak accident, it could have happened to anybody!
Great Capture and glad your saved it!!
LOL you had me so worried that you really broke the glass and someone got stitches.... so glad that didnt happen for your sake... anyway Happy Flying!
Great vid subbed. Yeah very good message too we got to be aware of all risks when flying..
Wow thats Scarry! Hope you dont mind if I use your video on my playlist and maybe on my Blog!
Yes. Any technology can fail, no matter how good the pilot is. Thanks for posting this, I'm sick of all the crazy bragging on the net where people do hugely dangerous flights (if them or the technology failed, but all is not about 'if' but 'when').
Even the "professional" grade ones have issues, even the military has issues with theirs.
Yeah I have a DJI Phantom 3 Standard. I am very new to it. Although it didn't come into play I can tell you need to handle your drone a little slower. On my phantom if I bring it down hard it just shuts off the propellers until I let go. Also I don't fly unless there is no wind. So in the winter I basically don't use it.
you are not alone....I bought my phantom 2 with the zemuse h3 3d gimbal and a hero go pro....got a nice fpv system for it...spent about a month , three times a week in the local ball park getting used to manipulating the controls...felt I was confident enough to try and make some money pitched my services to a real estate rep, got the gig, big mansion on a really woody lot....anyway, all of a sudden the drone isn't following my commands or so I think so, I get it all turned around trying to navigate through this tight cluster of old oaks....buzzed a few small branches, started to panic and the next thing you knew I was totally out of control, jamming the sticks on the remote every which way...I ended up crashing into a tree and falling 40 ft through all the branches to the ground.....was I embarrassed, home owner , real estate guy looking at me like I the biggest jerk around...I felt like one....the point of this much to long story is that these machines, though considered easy to fly by many skilled RC enthusiasts are really not as easy as you may think when you get in tight quarters trying to make fancy pans and zooms while yawing to and fro....to become a truly skilled pilot takes time...more that a summer...perhaps a couple summers with some sort of logical practice regimen if you are serious about trying to make some cash out of this....needless to say I took down my aerial photography shingle from my photography website and will not put it back up until I get another hundred hours of piloting experience and craft knowledge under my belt.....just some humble words of advice for those thinking this is an easy skill to master
Uhhh, I have problems with that, too. The mass of the Phantom isn't enough to crash through an office building window. Also, did the camera separate completely and get stuck in a tree? Is that why it's not stuck inside the office? I'm not sure I'm on board with this one. I feel your pain in the crash, I have pretty much the same setup and I've had it fall out of the sky a few times, myself... but I doubt it could smash an office building's window...
True, but slower speed would require higher mass. I'd estimate my Phantom's top speed at maybe 20mph or so. Its mass isn't enough to do more than bounce off that kind of a window... and total itself :-)
+Mike Schmidt More: at the end of the video, the guys arrive at the place of the crash and laughing recover the drone. We can even see the building in some frames: no windows are crashed. But more than that, no one is angrily waiting for them downstairs, nor shouts "here they are, those motherfxxers!" from the smashed window... This video is just troll... ;)
Jay
Very brave and good point made. I am a professional RPAS builder, designer and pilot here in the UK. I have the little phantom as a training aid and it is very good but you must have an appreciation for the skills/considerations for piloting any aircraft.
All the best
J
The phantom is in uncontrolled flight? I understand the "uncontrolled" part because the electronics came loose, but why "flight"? The throttle control is still in your hands, all you need to do is turn power off when things go wrong. The quad will fall like a rock with throttle off instead of flying across a busy road, potentially smashing into buildings/cars/people.
I think it's a bloody good message you've sent here Jay; and some knuckleheads want to argue about it ????? I'm an old geezer and I took my Tcopter up for its very first spin under some guidance from a 16 year old who tuned it all for me. Unfortunately on my first flight it got well away from me to the point where orientation was the problem. My young accomplice tried to take over but he couldn't see the quad. It crashed into a metal fence about 200 - 250 metres away and that only took about 60 secs to get there. My first concern was the damage it may have done to others or their property and secondly that my actions were part of the very reason why the authorities will or may come crashing down on all of us. My young accomplice however thought it sounded great - wow!!
We have legal responsibilities flying these machines and if we're not careful the insurance premiums to cover them will be horrendous but not as much as being sued for damage - after a brief search I decided to cut my losses and order new parts for the next one. Good luck all :)
I don't see how the drone flew the 250+ feet "uncontrollably" Ive had the gimbal come loose and have had props break mid flight and I can still correct the drone enough to bring it down and land safely. This is like that video of the drone flying in NYC, a serious lack of operator knowledge.
Levi Stutzman I agree with you
Another thing I try to do is check all nuts and screws regularly make it a habit...I needed to see this video
Wow! Could so easily have been a complete financial nightmare as you described! That's why I choose to fly nowhere near buildings, cars, roads or people! Fly safe!! 👍🙂
good work man, some great lessons in here, well done... read with a silent mind to take advantage of it peeps
To shoot a friend's roof, I recommend a missile or grenade. A drone won't do much in that respect...
HAHAHHAHAHHAA LOL HAHAHHAHAHHAA that just made my day! :D
Thanks for sharing the info. This will help for us all to fly safer by checking the equipment etc.
And another thing, The crash wasnt caused by the gimbal. Unless your gimbal weighed 2 pounds and only two of your rubber balls were attached would have that caused any flight issues.
"I screwed up, and I am sharing that mistake and my thoughts with all of you in the hope that some of you may avoid my error."
If you'd explain your circumstances when your quadcopter went out of control we might be able to advise you on how to avoid that in the future.
Back when this was uploaded? Don't buy a DJI, they were really glitchy, had a lot of failures, and were guaranteed to have some form of crash eventually if you flew enough. Thankfully that's all been more than fixed with new phantom 4s but the old memories still give me anxiety when flying it.
I've just started flying quads. Hope you are an AMA member, as they have insurance for pilots.
Could not agree with you more. We all have to understand there are limits we can not push. Fly safe and smart always.
I put the video into slow motion and i never saw it hit a window or a person, there seemed to be almost nobody there?!?!?!? Am i mistaken?
Yes.. You need to watch the WHOLE video.. start to finish. You missed an important part
I did see the whole thing... But not in slo-motion... Ok i will watch the whole thing in slomo.
Jay Kelley Oh WHAT!?!?!?!? I DIDN'T WATCH THE WHOLE THING!!!! sorry, i thought i did.
Jay Kelley UUUmmm nope didn't get it... What was the most important part?
Jay Kelley Ooooohhh after 3 times of watching the same video over and over again i finally found out!!! It was a joke!!! Good one!!! Donno how i missed that?!?!?!? I think i looked away every time the truth came out...
I think you didn't loose a rubber at 1.55....the strong wind (a heavy nd filter or any other filter makes this worse) made the gimbal to disengage its motors and then it engaged them back. It happens to me all the time ...You propably lost the rubber when you crashed.
Wait, why does that red car in the parking lot have guns mounted on the back?
Lol haha no, I think it was just a fin.
In Switzerland you actually MUST have a private liability insurance of a minimum of 1.1 Million USD if the drone exceeds 500 grams in weight and I have my aircraft explicitly included in the policy with a coverage up to a few millions. You should have a copy of your insurance policy with you when you fly these.
Great point you are trying to make. As for me, I was testing out some new carbon fiber blades and really putting my DJI Phantom 2 through its paces with some hard, sharp movements when one of the blades cracked at the hub causing it to crash into my neighbors car. The repairs to their car cost me $1100, true story! So please be careful when flying around homes and or people. As much as I hate the prop guards that seem to always show up in my video, they truly do make it safer for not only the props on the quad, but for anything that it may hit unintentionally. For beginners, I highly encourage you to start by flying in a large open field. Many parks prohibit their use so be aware of the local statutes or you may be cited with a municipal code violation which is only an infraction, but ALWAYS excersise good judgement when flying around people or property. I equate flying a quad to flying around a 4 blade weed wackier and heaven forbid what could happen if you hit something or someone!
what caused your gimble to fail?
2:34 you can here all the parts falling ouch!
I also fly quads. I just ordered a Cheerson CX 20 which is similar to the DJI Phantom. I only fly my larger quads in our local park when no one is around. Eventually, idiots like the fellow who flew his drone over PNC Stadium in Pittsburgh during a Pirates game will get these banned for all of us.. Learn to fly these in remote areas. There is always the chance they will go out of control for other reasons such as interference, malfunction, etc.
This must be the earlier Phantom version. I don't recognize the propellers on it cause they are green. More likely a different drone, but not a Phantom.
It's an earlier Phantom.. Props are not green.. White. Do they look green on the video?
Hi, I fly a Phatom, and love it. One thing I always have on my camera mount (it's not a gimbal yet), is loose loops of nylon braided cord to stop the camera mount/gimbal breaking loose... If you'd had the loops in then the crah might not have happend.
Great video, glad none was hurt!
This is a 'what if' video.... Granted copters can be a hazard but luckily the more modern copters are fitted with GPS which enables safety functions like RTH which can easily be regarded as a get of jail card in difficult/loss of control situations. The trick with flying anything is 'DON'T PANIC!!!!!!!'
The FAA doesn't approve of business use of drones... but one could always create a non profit Corp for under 200.00 and fly the craft under that Corp charter. Since its a separate legal entity, nobody can come after you personally. Simply look at past and current corporate actions where employees and execs are immune from civil and criminal prosecution.
thank you for sharing i had similar close calls....i still fly Phantom and always pray before take off
I like the, "My little death craft" line,lol.
Cool.. Did you watch the ENTIRE video? Very important. :)
I did,that's funny.
I see that kind of damage I walk away and claim ignorance.. they can keep the Quad.. lol
Suddenly everyones a pilot!!! Nightmare scenario. Great warning video which people need to note!!
Fact is you must operate one of these as you would a helicopter. You do not fly over people EVER! Sods law! murphy's law, call it what you want but 35 years as a pilot has taught me things will go wrong. You need a plan set out in advance of how you are going to avoid all likely scenarios. flying is hard enough, flying remote from the vehicle is much harder. I think a kill switch and ballistic recovery chute will soon become the mandated norm for operating these devises. I'm getting these for mine right now!
That's why flying cars will never happen, imagine the retards on the road right now flying above your house :D
Is it just me or does that seem like really windy day to be flying a drone?
Long story short, learn to fly with LOS before FPV. And try not to fly your quadcopter very high in a place with commuters, and buildings. I fly in a park ten miles from my house in a secluded regional park with a bunch of soccer fields. I do my testing 4-8 feet off the ground at the house well within my property line. My property is also in a high traffic area like yours. Also make sure your not within five miles of an airport. :)
I made the airport mistake once......... Oh boy...... They let me off the hook because the transmitter was broke in packaging and it didn't respond to anything, plus there was wind, and it wasn't even a large airport (so small that they have drag races down the runway...). Anyways, won't make THAT mistake again! :)
Edit: I didn't realize the transmitter had broken, the drone flew fine anywhere within 12 feet, but after that, well... Let's just say that we can't trust Artificial Intelligence.
I thought something was fishy when reading the 'damages' list. I doubt a phantom would make it through a window at all. imo your first mistake was flying in a populated area with traffic and people around. second mistake was not just killing the throttle and letting it drop as soon as it went crazy - surely you are able to do that right?
Judging by what I saw, the place where everything went wrong was just above water (not sure though). I think he felt he might have been able to land close to the shore, but didn't account for the possible wind. There may have even been an updraft (not likely). But I agree, cutting power is the best way to not lose complete control (sort of) but I think it could have had an even bigger possibility of hitting a person or car
Thanks for the Phantom story and video. I too have a P2V+ and have crashed it twice for no apparent reason. Have you figured out the root cause of your fly-away? I had a little more damage: ESC, Motor and a lower shell. The gimble/camera assembly is broken beyond repair. Now I'M using my P2V+ as a trainer minus the camera. I've ordered a new professional grade drone and with my experiences and your video I WILL be more careful in the future. Safe flights. Carl PS, my Phantom still have fly away issues but now I know what to look for and how to regain control over my drone.
Great job on the video. Thanks
Wow that sucks. Its nice that the current drones are more reliable.... BUT for us 333/107 pilots check out verifly its on demand insurance pricing varies between $10-35 depending on how close you are to airports. It covers up to $1,000,000 liability (doesn't cover aircraft)
Thanks for the comment. If you watched the entire video you already know I came out okay in the end. Amazingly this video was made BEFORE there was drone insurance. The "wild west days" so to speak. You are 100% correct in that things are different now. I still think the best way to learn is to share our mistakes, not just the successes.
you are spot on.......a good lesson for all drone pilots
If you've never done this before start with something light and slow like a Syma X5. Use that as a "primary trainer" as you can crash that as many times as you want into a building and you won't hurt it or the building. Next try a Galaxy Visitor for some more sophisticated electronics. By the time you've mastered these two you'll realize that quads aren't for you or you'll be ordering that Phantom or H500. Those two little quads are good trainers and will set you back about $200 for both of them. That's less than a repair job on a "pro" quad and you have a couple of aircraft you can fly around the house.
Just another reason these damn things should not be allowed to fly near populated areas.
And now start 2016 there are 750,000 plus of these buggers flying.
Pim about to say really poorly made glass since normal office glass does take a pretty good hit
what caused the flyaway??
Make sure you have carbon fiber blades if you really want to send someone to the E-room.
Good message. I'm changing the way if fly.
Thank you for a good lesson for everyone who wants to fly these things. At least you seem to have learned from a near miss. What is really scary is these people who let their craft out of their control and it ends up at altitudes above 500feet. This is going to end in disaster somewhere when there is a plane strike on one of these that ends up killing people. I hope everyone who decides they want to be "drone pilot" keeps these away from populated areas and out of flight paths. Thanks again.
They all can/will crash at some point, regardless of the cost of the model
which phantom drone ?
the other day I wanted to fly my drone so I fully charged the batteries. When I went to fly it I got it to about 30ft and then the drone was like you know what im just going to run out of battery mid air. It crashed but surprisingly didn't break.
why didn't you drop the power the up down part you might have not hurt so many people you say you lost control because the gimbal broke why did that happen did you crash before?
So what is this supposed to prove? How not to fly a quadcopter?
WHEN U DONT DO A PROPER PREFLIGHT.
THIS IS WHAT U GET.
Theres an emergency Off option. Like the start
It's the flight computer. When the power connection isn't as secure it causes the computer to short and it can't think properly. They probably tried cutting huge corners or implemented massive technologies that malfunction when the battery disconnects a bit. There is like no redundancies with these RC stuff as if the companies can't make money there is no green light given to make it into the markets.
Don't blame the poor piloting here on the Phantom. It's not the Phantom's fault you were flying in attitude mode with no GPS stabilisation - that was obvious by the slow drifting motion of the Phantom at first - you probably hadn't given the craft long enough to store a home position before taking off (20 green rapid flashes).
A good video to warn of the dangers of irresponsible quadcoptery, but to blame it on the hardware is unfair.
Uhh You missed it.. I was doing the exact opposite. It was my lack of foresight and not understanding the risks that come with flying drones that I was trying to discuss. It is impossible for anything to be a machine's fault. It would be sitting on the ground had I not flown it.
Lesson you should learn from this: Don't fly in wind that strong lol
If you attempt to class drones as vehicles, which may happen, this will involve a huge cost to the individual with tests and such. This is absolute bullshit. Until I see overwhelming figures of drone injury cases then all this crap is just another loss of freedom. They want to watch us but the minute we have a capability to watch back its stamped on. I was kicked out of a national park ffs and it was really dodgy - the security. Plus the drone went crazy, like some kind of electro magnetic field around the area I was filming. A water reservoir infact. Flying over water with no danger to the public. I'm serious, at the moment we have the capability but soon the drone thing is all over, some media crap, drone kills baby and family of four, rapes a nun etc.
Please ensure gimbal is tightly secure:)
Hey, everyone that flies in this hobby knows they will crash at some point. The point is to reduce the risk as much as possible and do everything possible to make sure the drone is safe. I only haze idiots who do stupid stuff and don't take ownership, you had a bad turn of luck that caused damage and injury but you took ownership which is very honorable. Mistakes happen, and i'm sure in the future you'll fly safer.
Hopefully newbies watching this video will learn from it and keep it from causing regulation that bans this fantastic hobby.
Hi Jay, great case study and thanks for sharing. From my experience, two things may have played a major part in this crash:
1. I see you were flying with prop guards on. I flew with prop guards once, and never will again. They definitely have an effect on the flight of the Phantom.
2. When the gimbal detached, it looked like your rate of descent was too fast. Again, from experience, if you descend too fast, the Phantom looses control and just plummets. Thankfully, the new Phantom 3 has a maximum descent rate which would alleviate the loss of control problem.
You have pointed out a very valid point, we all have to give more thought to the potential risks involved when conducting a flight, for whatever reason.

Was the throttle stuck too?
You know I'm not sure.. Once I saw the thing bank left at full speed, that feeling of sudden panic and realization of what I had done began to fog everything up. :)
wow your drone actually caused that much damage. unlucky u crashed into a law firm
How can a gimbal semi-disattached can bring down a quadcopter. This shows the poor ability of the flight controller to control the aircraft. No wonder why this aircrafts fall from the sky all the time
4:14 "These lower cost drones" lol low cost drones? You call nearly $2k drones low cost? (Yes compared to a lot of higher end drones and the photography camera market it's cheap but still)
Thanx for sharing. I agree most of your conclusions. Just, more expensive Drones will also crash. Because it's expensive does not mean, it's safe...
Take care
Something worth remembering.. Thank you.
Very good video I flew competitive RC airplanes for 14 years and there was a saying it's not if they crash it's when they crash if you fly them
My goodness i ordered a cheerson cx-20 and then watched this. I almost canceled the order when you mentioned the damages! thankfully it didnt actually happen lol. But I will be very cautious with my new baby now ;)
I'm subscribing as a gesture to help your legal costs.. 50 viewers won't likely cover experience. Let us know how things came out. Ugh - wow who would have thought!
Oh my god.. Dude you're really nice. Wish there were more like you. HOWEVER.. Do me a HUGE favor and watch the video until the VERY END. Then come back here and let me know once you've done that.. It's really important.. WATCH THE WHOLE THING!
Ur 100% on the spot!fly responsibly if possible.thanks for the video
Great point at the end
Thank you for sharing! Will reshare for all noobies out there.
