Lesson number four million and fourty seventy six when flying your brand-new indoor electric remote-controlled helicopter:
When you realise that, after all the modifications you did to your RC controller, the rear rotor control is backwards, don't think 'well, I can only tell what effect the inputs have on the rear rotor if the main rotor's spinning' (since it's proportional and with gyros and stuff).
And if you do think that, then don't get your heli up to speed and then start flicking the DIP switches at the back in the hope of finding the one that reverses the rudder input.
.. because instead of reversing the input you want, you might reverse the throttle input from 'almost none' to 'almost infinity', sending the helicopter at MAX POWER towards you before smashing into a chair and shattering the main rotors into extra sharp super spikey death blades.
Have some before pictures:
At least I'm still here. IN YOUR FACE, DARWIN!
