As pointed out earlier it really is "how" we push the envelope that is the issue.
Nothing inherently dangerous about FPV. Nothing inherently safer about conventional "modeling" either. Both require common sense and an eye to safety. Look, when I see a guy put that Big ole 30# P-51 on the flight line after only 2 weeks previous Alpha 40 trainer experience...those little FPV models seem very innocuous to me...
People spend way to much time making cases against FPV while completely ignoring much worse scenarios...It's just redickulious. Get over yourself already!
Your perspective might change when some old guy almost takes your head off... flying his turbine powered creation...or his overpowered Piper Cub.
LCS,
trying to explain to some here the philosophy of technical advancement is like
going back in time and trying to explain women's rights to the Neanderthal.
They ain't ever likely to get it.
