Here's what my guess the conclusion will be, and we can await the outcome.

The pilot, that is, the operator of the FS aircraft, will receive no liability for this incident.

The spectators and certainly the operator of the model airplane will.

Just another bad checkmark for operators, like myself, of R/C model airplanes. Good thing I do CL. [sm=bananahead.gif]

I personally have seen the lost of three great flying fields, because of the behaviour of people who fly R/C model airplanes.

Two "were" Club fields. The third "could" have been.
