What happened after that? Did the bus garage find out? It's funny the kinds of questions an attorney can ask an R/C pilot after someone gets injured.

Man, it's a good thing kids weren't in that bus. You can't immagine the face of an angry parent, or what an angry parent can do to the hobby. All it would take maybe one (1) injured kid, and a bunch of angry parents: "Oh my gosh, that could have been Johnny!"

Status: offline 		school has been out for the summer for almost a month so there was no one around but me and the guys i work with . we all work out of the bus shop so yes they know about it LOL .... the only time we fly from our shop is when there is no school .


there is no way any of us would fly when the kids are around its just to dangerous . they are always running all over the place getting into everything they shouldnt . we have to deal with them everyday breaking stuff . and going places they shouldnt . if we dont have it nailed down or locked down they will steal it of get into it . had a guy and a girl do things in a crawl space that only a guy and a girl can do LOL .

so basically i was being as safe as possible considering where i was flying at .

A new window, and new prop/cowling (you obviously have that taken care of) and you're good to go....

Couldn't resist. Since I am in highschool.
