I do not care what the Air boss said the RC pilot should have seen that the plane was coming down the runway and held off flying until the FS landed, the FS was landing so why would you take up the RC planeThe guy shooting the video had time to film the FS coming down the runway. ?
I have a comment about this. When I first soloed RC, I had three instructors. One of the constants that was repeated over and over was to ''Keep your eyes on YOUR OWN PLANE and DO NOT LOOK at other planes.'' Even today, this rings in my head it was repeated so much to me and I think it has been a huge help for me to keep my focus on what I am doing.
After flying a lot now, I can see planes in my extended vision and am aware of much more than when I used to be flying, but I will admit that it is more important to watch your plane and when you are doing acro/3d it is imperative that you watch your plane and not take your eyes off of it. A few moments with your eyes away could result in calamity.
With this in mind, why would it have been the responsibility of the RC pilot to see the other plane? That would be voiding the very thing instructors teach RC pilots.
For me if there were so much confusion that day, I would have not flown, but that is just me. I am very cautious when a lot of chaos is going on and will usually just sit and watch until things calm down some. I have noticed when a lot is going on, that is an accident waiting for a place to happen.
