I'm on both sides the fence here. I am not a CD but whenever I go to rallies I have my children with me.
I dont like hate towards a models(s) because of a perception, and I think sometimes these types of rules are used to actually hate on a person instead. I mean any CD could make up some BS about the model I have or how it is configured without any burden of proof. Maybe he just dont like me.
But at the same time, I dont want a large hawk crashing on my kids when the tail comes off. I admit I'd be nervous if someone had one of those.
I think in the recent cases there is enough merit to ban certain aircraft built with a certain material, but not all of them from years past. I do not think its ok to ban a model because it uses a UP3 instead of the latest electronic valves or because it uses futaba etc..
