RE: Is a person who turns their radio on without the pin responsible for the cost of the crashed model?
It is very cut and dry. There is no mistaking! If you don't have the pin and you shoot someone down, you should pay for the plane or at least offer. There is no other way to look at it!
You don't accidentally turn on a radio. You do it with the full intention to turn it on. If you don't have a clip, it is not an accident, it is a blatent act that can be avoided.
I can't believe you needed another poll to even ask. If you get the clip before you turn on, you won't have a problem. End of story.
