Good choice of a nickname Winston! If you always remember that you are controlling a very big frisbee above you then rotor mis-management on the ground becomes a non-event; It doesn't fly if it aint spinning and keep it moving; 2 of the three big dangers are sorted. (The other one is of course low flying and wires!)

... but you knew that!
