Default RE: Electric Planes at our field.

Our club came up with several rules to make it safe for everyone.
First, we solved the electric arming problem by banning electric planes altogether.
That also solved the dangerous Li-po problem.

Then, we decided to ban fuel powered planes, because they also can bite fingers,
and besides, the glow fuel and gasoline are flammable, and can also kill the pretty grass.

Then, we decided to ban radios, because we figured if folks had them, they might be
sorely tempted to bring some kind of dangerous model plane with them.
This also effectively banned gliders also, except free flight. But we banned them
too, because they can fly into the sun and then come down and hit you in the chest
and hurt you.

I brought up the idea of just banning all types of model aircraft as being easier to
remember and write down,
but everyone got upset that there wouldn't be enough rules then to argue over.
