Mr. Slocum,
This is a very volatile subject with many folks. The AMA has banned any form of "intentional" full contact combat with glow engines. Not because they don't enjoy it, or because they are jealous of others who do, or because they are mean spirited but because of the possible danger to human life and the property litigation consequences.
RC Clubs can either insure themselves, and their property or their landlords property with AMA provided insurance, or by private policies. Most use AMA's insurance. AMA has said no to full contact combat. Your field is not covered by AMA insurance if you violate the saftey code.
Can you imagine going to the local State Farm agent and telling him you would like to insure your club field, its visitors and their children, their vehicles, and the other fliers while you are trying to hit each others airplanes, that once control is lost become unguided missles? I don't think the policy would be affordable even from Lords of London.
Please put streamers on your PBFs then go have a ball flying combat.
