RC Show Crash Kills Two
Just heard on the radio that at a plane show (think it was in Hungry or Holland?) a RC pilot was flying his 6 and 1/2 foot wingspan RC plane over the crowd when he lost control and crashed it into the audience. Two people were killed. Let's all remember that safety is the first concern when flying RC. Do NOT fly your plane over people or in their direction. Never land a plane at you as well. Even a small and lightweight park flyer can kill somebody at the speeds these things can fly at. In any matter, it won't take much speed or wieght to possibly kill somebody if you hit them in the head.
