Yea, he is full of himself too he,he,he...
Great video tho!
Helps to understand your position given that you clearly admitted to being anti-3D. Learned something from that! LOL. Now I know to tune you out in regards to any fair discussion here.
That's the spirit!
It should be noted that I'm not AGAINST 3D......I'm against giving 3D accomodation that was denied for helis, especially since the restrictions on Helis were based on them creating the same sort of havoc that the 3D's presently do. The helis were, for good reasons, restricted to their own areas away from the runways and many started their own fields or fly at fields better suited to helis than planes. Yet, no impetus has been given for 3Ders to do the same. The different way they use the sky inherently creates a dangerous situation when combined with standard flying, unsafe to be certain. Just like helis. But take them off to the side, out of the pattern they disdain so much, and they're not that dangerous.
What's unfair about seeking safer flying conditions and advocating the adjustments that could change the inevitable, ever-growing public impression that our hobby is unsafe?
Just saying this, and it's very simple: We could do all of this a lot better.

As soon as the average 3-d plane can be made to take off vertically like a heli, you might then have a point.
I can fly my heli in my back yard. Not so my 50cc 3-d Yak.
