Saw this posted on a dropzone.com forum. My condolences to his family and friends. We model aircraft fliers tend to think we're in a "Safe" sport! This accident just "Goes to show ya'." Be Careful out there!! Just because "There's never been a Model Aircraft Crash I've been in that I havn't walked away from!" doesn't mean it can't happen. As my old Skydivin' bud Mike Owens says about skydiving,"You are not now nor will you ever be good enough to not die in this sport!" With this posted incident I'm starting to think about the saying being relevant to Model Aircraft flying too.
