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.
Yeah, it takes AT LEAST 20 feet more runout for them.
What you're saying is that there are no crowds to show off for in your back yard. The rub here is that not all crowds are aching to see your 50CC Yak fly 3D...a good number of the people standing there are justing waiting for that selfish j*rk to land so they can use the airspace. Heli pilots used to think the same thing.
And I assume that you're good enough that once it's in the air, you can fly as well as any sport flyer and actually move it somewhere other than over the runway? Because I've noticed a real problem with 3Der's lacking those simple skills, despite that fact that they often claim to have supreme abilities in the control of their aircraft.
Just for the record, this sport flyer with inferior control abilities could easily have gotten his plane out of the way of the approaching Full-Scale plane in time.
I stand by my video. My fun little segment of self-expression at the end concerning 3D doesn't change anything I said about the two clowns with a handheld radio and an RC Tx in their hands. If you don't like it...make your OWN video!
LOL
