Default RE: An Incident with Lessons for All of Us


ORIGINAL: combatpigg

I wonder if the RC pilot learned anything, or if he'll continue to hover his gigantic models center stage so close to himself that he's completely oblivious to approaching planes, nuclear bombs, earthquakes, tidal waves, etc.??

Ummm... I think he was flying a Demo..... it isn't his job to watch for those things.. it is the spotters job... and when the "AirBoss" is standing next to you
with a radio...ummm... it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume he was performing a "Spotting" function....
Have you ever flown a demo at a full size airport before? (I have only done 6 or 7 myself)

I don't know you, never met you... but the above post makes me wonder if you are one of the guys that sits in the pits with the other "Statler and Waldorf" types and complains about guys who like to hover their planes.....
care to post any vids of your flying or building Sk!lZ ???
