In full scale helo flying quad-copters are a real potential threat. However, no one wants to see them banned yet. Idiot operators combined with large powerful government may take it out of AMA's hands eventually.


In Model aviation we bring it on ourselves sometimes. In jets we meet at airports. It's surprising that hasn't resulted in more problems. We love the large runways. Ever wonder though,how full scale pilots may feel if they can't get in and out of their airport and their hangars are blocked by RVs and people? If we haven't wondered about that, then that's part of the problem.
