Sorry, it's hard for me to believe that anyone in charge would allow a 40% plane to fly a demo inside a stadium full of people. Anyone who advocates a 40% FPV demo flown inside a stadium full of people is the kind of guy I'm taking issue with.
The ''blimp episode''...imagine how much easier of a shot that could have been for the RC pilot if he had FPV, plus he could have performed that stunt from the safety and comfort of his mom's basement.
What??? Full stadium??? I never said that! There you go letting your imagination run wild again... ''40% FPV'' give me a break! Its hard to make any points in this thread when people keep moving the goal posts...but that's how pooping is done I guess...

FYI My experience with ''stadium flying'' was only half full of spectators...and all spectators were well behind the ''flight line''...Our setup was probably safer than many other ''sanctioned'' events. And yes, we had the full confidence of those in charge... as they were very aware of our skills and commitment to safety...


Nothing like getting the extra points for knife edging between the stationary goal posts...
Well, at least you didn't try to misrepresent yourself as someone who flew FPV or LOS RC at half time in a packed football stadium..which was the scenario I clearly drew up earlier.
At least you're above playing those kind of "word games" to try and prove a point.
Your story about flying a demo inside a stadium with spectators behind a safe flight line is irrelevant...but it was a nice opportunity for you to talk about your 5 minutes of fame even though it doesn't have anything in common with the scenario I brought up.
