Random experience that I'm sure all quad guys have gone through, but I thought I'd post it.
My first quad build was the FT gremlin sidewinder edition. I was a noob and flipped the flight controller and ESC 90 degrees to the left. You can correct this digitally in betaflight, which I did. However, the ESC was not corrected and I still tried to fly it. It did the classic flip out and crashed into the grass. I tried to correct this by lowering the P gain to 5, which was totally ludicrous. I tried holding the drone in my hands while I armed the little guy and even when the P was down at 5 it flipped out of my hands again!
After picking up my frustrating quad I looked at my fingers and saw that they had been torn up pretty bad. It took a good size chunk of skin out of my index finger and slashed at the rest of my digits. Luckily no stitches or anything, and it healed nicely. I'm definitely going to be careful now that I'm attempting a 5 inch, with huge amounts of power.
