Very nice video Jim, well done. I'm a scale pilot and I get a little worried what 3D pilots are going to do at the field, they can be unpredictable at times. I made a film of my Custom Hanger 9 Fokker DVII.

Near the end of the film, I had a electric 3D pilot start doing crazy aerobatics close enough to my plane that I became nervous and I quickly landed.

Now, to get back on the subject...


If the FAA and AMA come to agreement if something should be done to prevent this from ever happening again, I don't mind.

But again, if I was that person flying 3D I would have landed right away and got my fanny and plane in a safe area. It's just me- there was no reason for the 3D pilot to keep flying when he first realized there was a FS plane in the area.

It's people who use poor judgement and refuse responsibility for their actions that's going to allow powers that be to take more and more privilages away from us in the end.

As a R/C pilot, I can't always depend on others for safety at FS airshows. I have to be alert and aware of what's going on around me at all times. Again- if I can't then I don't fly.
