Default RE: An Incident with Lessons for All of Us

I'm glad it was a 3d plane that got hit. The alternatives are much worse, say a giant scale warbird or jet flying full throttle directly into the FS which could have easily been the case at an event such as this one!!! We were all LUCKY that it was a lightly built, hovering slowly RC plane!!

Think what would have happened if it was a 50% Hempel cub or a COMPOSITE, comp arf Corsair!!!!

ALL PARTIES were at fault but the main responsible party was the airboss. He was totally out of control. Just to see how badly, watch the video to the end and you'll see people going across the runway picking up the pieces IN FRONT OF A TAXYING FULL SCALE T6!!!!
