No ill feeling at all, I was just using it as an example since we were
both there that night.
point A:
I agree it was totally my fault the plane got so far out of line.
point B:
I think everyone was just shocked that I was able to keep the plane flying.
(all skill by the way)
point C:
I agree, but not about the Grand Poohba comment, is there any way you
and Keith can talk over your differences and bury the hatched (not in each
others heads)?
I don't know about the past, only been here for a year.
As for you withdrawing as safety officer... that is a personal decision you
have to make, however it was not my intent in pointing out the discrepancy
and I would hope you will reconsider.
I will stand by you 100% for the signs, I have never heard it mentioned.
A great example was the fly in... the signs did there job, with little to no
involvement from us.
Another plus to the signs is that anyone in the club can just point them out
to spectators without needing backup.
Anyway, I am dropping this all together, I just want to fly and let everyone else
fly. I hate politics, and I did not join the club to make enemies. Everyone has
been great to me since I have joined and I hope it stay's that way.
Like Lee said, lets post the funny crap and forget this junk.

Kelly,
You're right, I thought those folks were friends of someone's and had permission to be there. I usually tell spectators to stay back. Sometimes they want to come around and check a plane out, that's ok when escorted. And yes the grand poobah was there so he has safety control duties. I think I had just stopped by from work ? I do not recall being there to fly.
In your case, since it seems there is some ill feelings here.
A) As a flight Instructor, the student's aircraft should not have been in the student's control as soon as it crossed the pit line. That is the mistake you made.
B) The fact that some members and the FSM were laughing at a serious situation in front of those spectators and other members was not a good image to portray and now may think that this kind of thing is normal and ok to let happen.
C) I do not think you should be punished. It was a mistake and those happen. I do not think the FSM or myself should have barbequed your ass either. I could see that you were concerned but others were not. I think a more serious tone to the situation would have been better.
As an after the fact we can look back and laugh, thankfully no one was hurt. Sure beats looking back and crying.
Do to my lack of ability to identify and do my job. I hereby withdraw from my position as a Safety Marshall. Done deal, don't want it, I can see the direction we are heading and it stirs up memories of the past.
I've lobbied for those signs for about three years now, never gets anywhere. I would pay for them myself if I could afford it.
MODEL AIRCRAFT ARE DANGEROUS
BEWARE AND REMAIN BEHIND FENCE
AT ALL TIMES UNLESS ESCORTED
AMA MEMBERS ONLY
Or whatever..........
