The seven questions in post #48 were totally in line with both the OP and your subsequent statements. They were asked specifically to gain clarification and expansion of your statement: “I will request his surrender of the transmitter.” And asked follow up questions as to the consequences of you asking for that surrender. Your response above failed to either adress or answer most of those questions.
So let’s look at and clairfy some of the questions again:

#1. Again, you apparently advocate that it within a CD’s responsibility and authority to walk up to a pilot who is flying and obviously having problems controlling the large RC model, then further distract and confuse him by demanding he hand you, the CD, the transmitter is this correct or not?

That action is going to result in three responses; he actually hands you the transmitter, he ignores you and keeps flying and as most of us would do he tells you in one form or another to get lost.

#2, (also implied by Andy in post #7) If he does hand the transmitter to you and the plane crashes; do you intend to pay or be responsible for the damage?

#3 what are you going to do if he tells you to bug off? Start a fight and try to physically take the transmitter away from him? Boy that's going to add a bunch to improving the safety of the situation. Ok so ignore the fight part; what are you, as the CD going to do if he either ignores you or tells you to get lost while he’s still flying?

The following two questions were attempting to find where you think your limitations as a CD end. Where does your safety responsibility end and the safety reality begin? You’ve already stated that in the name of safety, you have a responsibility to as someone to surrender a transmitter, following that logic then you might feel entitled to as for other things:

#4. So he lands and he's pissed; do you take his car keys away till he calms down? After all he’s upset and he could be a safety hazard to someone.

#5 if he has a legally executed conceal carry do you try to take his gun away from him?
I asked just to see how extreme your position on safety would go. This is one question you did sort of address, but as with most of your posts the subject changed from the safety of the event attendees to focus on you.


#6. Just how much pushing and shoving are you willing to do to make your point? Ok I’ll give you credit for one out of seven, you did sort of address this question.

Then my final question was a if it’s good for the goose... reversal, I apologize for the typo, the original edited post was done from my smart phone and this page is not smart phone friendly:
#7. Or let's turn the table, you're flying @ mythe (should have read at my) contest & I think you're flying poorly: Are you going to hand over your transmitter to me as CD?

Then init4fun asked you a very pertinent follow up on now that you have a transmitter in your hand, you are now in violation of the safety code, please tell us how you reconcile this now apparent willful violation?

So is there any chance you could just simply, clearly answer the questions?

I'm sorry, one last question; Did you happen to notice back in post #47 that Steve Kaluf, former AMA Technical Director also thinks your approach of asking the pilot to surrender the transmitter would have been the wrong way to go?

And the BLOCK is off so go right ahead and respond away.
