Yeah, working within the rules we've all done well by WOULD irritate you, no doubt about that. As far as being a spectator and feeling safe, I'll bet you would have loved the 3D event we're talking about here. I know the guy in the Bipe felt quite safe.

But you saod one thing that's a real idea. 3D SHOULD be flown at their own fields and in their own events so they do not threaten the fields and the hobby for responsible standard-RC individuals.

That's why it's not the older, tamer, more boring folks who have higher insurance rates. What, you THINK we like flying in a pattern? We find ways to work other stuff into the pattern. We don't just go straight up through it and make everybody scatter. I know that's YOUR idea of fun, but I'm going to go way out on a limb here and say that I don't think that most of the rest of us regular flyers enjoy that too much. When clubs don't DO SOMETHING about guys who like that stuff, we find new clubs.

But I'm probably going a little hard on you, because you said that the Air boss should have made him land and you said that it should have been on the ground. Right on both counts and darn it all, it shows that at least ONE of you dang 3Ders have a responsible bone in your body. Maybe.
