Glad it was just the door!

Ok, been flying heli for about a month. I have a raptor 30 v2. I was starting to get the hang of hovering in a nice big field on the weekends, when a friend suggested I could practice every day in my back yard if I could just find a way to tether it to the gound. So I cut a catle post off at about 2 feet and sunk it in the gound so only the top 1/2 inch was above the ground. I tethered the heli to it and to my supprise this worked rather well and before I knew it I as getting better and better at hovering. And then for what ever reason, god decided to untie the rope I had attached to the heli. It drifted into my shed and put about a 12 inch gash in the steel shed door. Im just glad it didn't hit me in the head. Well, 1 crash kit later, I'm back in the field where I belong. Not one of my smarter moments.
