The toy-helicopter buff fatally s🌠calped by his chopper “died ๊doing what he loved,” his heartbroken father said Friday.
“It’s a complete passion,” Roman Pirozek Jr.’𝓀s father, Roman Sr., said of hi🌳s 19-year-old son’s hobby of flying the model whirlybirds.
The ✃blades of the h𓃲igh-powered 6-pound, remote-control chopper took off a “good chunk” of his head, officials said.
He was flying the model helicopter at Calvert Vaux Park in Brooklyn, near Coney Island — a p🌃opular spot fಌor airborne-model aficionados.
The outing took a horrific turn when🐈꧂ Roman Jr. attempted a stunt and the rotors spun out of control.
“He was a great pilot and a great friend to 𒁏everyone,” Roman Sr. said.
Roman Sr. founded the Brooklyn Seaview Rotary😼 Wings Club 30 years ago that Roman Jr. helmed as vice president until his tragic death.
“It’s a popular hobby but there’s only a certain amount of people that do it because it is a very expensive hobby and i🦩t is a little bit dangerous, as you can see,” Roman Sr. sꦯaid.
