Excellent video! You did a great job of flying her. Loved the pilot's head turning at the end. I'd have put that at the beginning, just to draw them in.....(it's the novelist in me....draw them in, draw them in...) but it made for a nice ending.

I agree that the RC pilot in the collision should have had it on the ground immediately, that's also what I would have done. Full-Scale pilots can't know what we're doing, and vice-versa. At our Full-Scale field where we fly, if a plane should arrive unexpectedly and we cannot get out of the way, there is no choice; we are to pound it into the ground if we have to so the runway is clear. Otherwise, with the same amount of warning that we saw given in the video, we would move way over to the far side and circle there. Not a paltry 20 feet off the runway.

Pretty much what we saw happen there was people treating a Full-Scale airport and runway as though planes don't land there. And they were doing it during a Full-Scale fly-in!

Now, that video was taken right at the time of the collision, so I can't state with certainty that the 3D pilot never took responsibility for his actions...or lack thereof. He might have thought about it and thought, "I shouldn't have listened to that guy, I should have put it on the ground right away. I knew better." I hope that was the case, but even if it was, there are a hundred idiots waiting in line to cause the next crash due to negligence and incompetence.

But I'll make a video about them when their fifteen minutes of fame arrives....

Beautiful Bipe, Pete.
