Slight problem, whilst trying to undertake the challenge.
I must remember, never ever, hold your radio in one hand and try to disconnect a lipo from quad at the same time
Yes, I caught the arm switch
I ended up, shredding a prop and my face too.
Thankfully it was only a nick and I have loads more props.

Kudos if you actually broke the prop on your face.
Lucky escape though. I mean, who hasn’t flown their quad into their own face at some point.
I believe it was a shard of broken prop, as soon as the quad bleeped at me and started to spin, I throw it into grass.
Here’s said Highland Cow statue, it weighed an f-in tonne (well not exactly)
He’s sat outside our decking at TinVilla

Not really.
And you’ll know the old saying “there’s no pain with there’s no sense” so I’m ok too.
Option: double arming or delayed arming on opentx
Nowadays, I keep my throttle stock high to avoid arming, as I prefer it to the options above.

Both options sound ideal, for me, to prevent it happening again

double arming
I’ve always got “pre-arm” mapped to one of the momentary switches, making it impossible to arm one-handed.
Still doesn’t protect against stupidity , though.
