Looks like a pretty decent burn!

After Reading this article it almost seems as though the pilot may have vacated the premisises, LOL

On 10 acres. They must've been holding hands! 

I'm sure the Basin directors are handling this, they don't need us peanut gallery types chiming in.  Same risks with Lipo or other electrics. Even a nitro or gasser could start a fire given the wrong circumstances.

It's OK for you and others to make a joke about it though?

Could, yes, and there have been a few that were small enough to be stomped out by foot, but this is the what the 7th or 8th time the fire department has had to put out a turbine fire in the last 5-6 years,, In 50 years of gas, glow and electric flying there I don't remember the fire department coming out to put out a fire before turbines hit the scene.

I may move back to CA in a few years, I hope the field is still open..

Dude, I was joking about the # of firemen. Chill.

I was quite serious about letting their folks handle it. You're in OH, I'm in MI. It's not our business to get worked up about. Take care of OH biz, I'll fret about MI biz. OK?  We average 2 Lipo fires at our field a year, and they're hard enough to put out. I don't want some granola-chewin', tree-huggin', whale-savin' hippies (not that there's anything wrong with them) watchin' over my club every time we set fire to the swamp out back.

As I said, their directors seem very capable. Wish we had a couple of 'em in our club.

I lived in LA for the First 43 years of my life, I flew there for about 20 of those years. I still consider that my home field, and like I said before, I plan to move back some day. I do have a vested interest. You have no idea what a Circus that place can be unless you've lived there. So I'll give my opinion, you can like it or not.

Been there. Visited a few times when I lived in Paso Robles in the '70's. Doesn't sound like the sky's falling. 
The place is an institution (but the inmates go home at the end of the day).

I'm sure it'll all die down. For now, the less said, the better IMO.

And more importantly it's the only one open to the public

Status: offline 		Just so you guys know, Condor Field in Camarillo is temporarily closed due a fire from an electric model. Don't know if its permanent, some members are saying it is.

I love seeing jets, but I am sure it cost money to put out fires, IMHO AMA should pay for it.

Happy Flying!
