Your poll is a bit off, you do need an option for some form of mediation. If you said physically beat the guy you are way off... It's a hobby. There is a certain amount of liability and assumed risk in this hobby and the attitudes and approach by both parties after something like this is everything. I know there are models at my field I can not afford and I also know some gentlemen who could never assume the cost of damaging one of my jets. Both of these scenarios would require some form of compromise and flat out honesty. Sounds like this guy either didn't like jets, or was in oh $h*& mode I can't afford this, quick panic and leave. Sad. I am assuming the club has some form of "pilot levels" but I am sure like yours no one ever wants to engage the guys who should not be flying solo. Everyone will B&^ch but few will actually take action.

The one part that sticks out is that he said "he had control of his plane" then that alone makes it malicious and intentional!!! Pretty sure his mouth got ahead of his brain or just again "oh crap mode".

We recently had an incident where a guy crashed a nice scale Texan by his own fault (tip stalled and nose planted hard) on the last 200 feet of a 660 foot runway and off to the far side. Another guy lands right into it and has a fit. It really defies logic where the second jackass was coming from??? The first guy yelled "crashed, on the runway." Most guys could land and hold short on the first 200 feet if needed and lastly our field is 16 acres of dragged desert where if you had to you could take the dirt in any prop job with little chance of damage. We have a lot of guys that can't even make the runway and always end up in the the dirt and the standing joke is "you paid your dues you can use the runway". There are many days where the helis and jets stay in trailers and trucks and we sit under the metal awning until "certain" individuals are done...
