Not to offend anyone but I got to go with BB on this one...
First Rule I was taught was if you can't afford to crash it then you shouldn't fly it.
Know I'm not saying that it doesn't hurt to lose a 3k model ESPECIALLY being shot down. But we all do this hobby knowing the risks Being shotdown is not an automatic replace my plane.
Shoot-downs are unfortunatlely part of the hobby just like mid-airs, mechanicals and dumb thumbs.
I also agree with this idea. Everyplace I've ever flown, unless it was gross negligence, or malice, and I've never seen or heard of either instances, a shoot down is just an unfortunate part of the hobby, and is mostly unintentional, and a rare occurrence.
I've never been shot down (that I know of), but if ever it happened to me I'm sure I'd behave as gentleman and just acknowledge the apology.
I think it's a waste of time, and plain silly to beleive that one can litigate this matter in court.
Hey, sheet happens....
