Very childish of the Viper Jet pilot to feel the need to sue over something as silly as a runway collision... If he doesn't have the stomach or resources to risk losing his plane (which didn't even happen in this case!) due to whatever accidental cause, he should go back to flying foamies in his local park. Those are a lot of fun as well!

I'm a strong proponent of a model where everyone simply carries their own cost in case of an accident in case it results in nothing more than material damage to our toy airplanes. It was an ACCIDENT. Let's be thankful nobody got hurt, the damage was minimal and move on!
Thank goodness, some sense at last!.
