Excellent story!
I have those "lock out" moments daily. Now, I know what to call them. Being still in the learning curve...I lock out about every three seconds.
I had to picture the case where you decided to hit the truck, busted heli AND a damaged truck.
I fly a blade cx and even the slightest breeze will take it to the neighbors yard..or his neighbors yard...or his etc...in what is still faster than my reaction time.
I also own a simi (thanks to some suggestions here) and the 'panic' is smaller so-to-speak...but now? My "lock out" include me hitting a place on my real control where a re-set button is on my simi control. It has NO effect on the blade, nor the neighbors humor when i got to his back-yard to pick up my toy. "Grown man." he must be thinking.
