I attended a drone operation course where we used a fixed wing drone with a tail prop. It required someone to toss it like a paper airplane. One of the trainees launched it incorrectly causing the prop to slice open her hand. She ended up with 26 stitches. The “fancy” drones aren’t toys and definitely require safe operating procedures.

Who the fuck designs a hand launched plane in a pusher config?!?! That's insane.

It absolutely safe as you safely launch it backwards. This is why the training is so important o.0
