<div class="moz-cite-prefix">He was a sponsored pilot on Team Align.
He was flying a TREX 700 electric with carbon fiber blades (pretty
the only blades anyone flies anymore).<br>

Google his name. You can find numerous YouTube videos of him
flying.<br>

(unconfirmed) the kid was a very active heli pilot, who had

Chances are better than 50:50 he was flying carbon blades

a couple pilots bring their 700 size helis to my field. I

<div>The park is well known in the NE for its heli flying and is
a fairly large area. With all that room, the amazing thing to
me is that when something went wrong, the heli made a bee-line
for him.....Just terrible, bad luck!</div>
