Sport Pilot,
But to point out that around hear to never fly when you can see an airplane in the air means almost never flying. To not fly when you can hear an airplane, means flying maybe 20% of the time.
The answer to your post in bold above is in the original post...
At approximately 11:00a.m., the SA750 arrived at the airpark and made a low pass down the runway. The RC pilot was performing a demonstration flight at the time and was directed to move his model away from the runway as the biplane made its low pass. The biplane then flew around the traffic pattern and was presumably setting up for a landing. The RC pilot brought his aircraft back to the runway and continued his 3-D (hover) demonstration. As the biplane came around, the pilot apparently aborted his approach and decided to make a second smoke-on, low pass down the runway.
NO ONE said to land just because a FS airplane is simply "in the area" but rather "near"! Just how blind do you have to be to not see a FS aircraft making a pass over a runway?!(see bold above) And what part of common sense was being used by the RC guy to stay over the runway AFTER the FS made a pass, AND he was told to move away? Was he blind?? The first post even says " The RC pilot
brought his aircraft back to the runway and continued his 3-D (hover) demonstration"...
I see only one way to end this debate....Sport Pilot and KidEpoxy, You BOTH are 100% correct in EVERYTHING you post and ALL the rest of us know NOTHING worth contributing to this discussion any further. You guys are PERFECT, never make mistakes, and will never put yourself in the position the FS or RC pilot put themselves in because you know the rules so well, abide by them 100% of the time, and NEVER make a mistake...
Have a Great Day!!!
