She should sue the s*** out of the operator.

Any a**hole who pulls that kind of crap deserves the worst.

Oh please, do the math, that f2d airplane in my garage is a lot more dangerous. 

Not pleasant but not as bad as foul ball at a baseball game. 

glad she was not hurt badly.

the thing wights less than 10 pounds and was moving pretty slow.

And the plastic props don't really dig in that much.  See video below.

Yeah, but you probably are not hanging a camera on your f2d plane and flying it close to someones head.
