RE: Is a person who turns their radio on without the pin responsible for the cost of the crashed model?
By the way, one more thing. You guys keep talking about "getting the pin, or having the pin".
Guess what guys. At many flying fields you do not GET A PIN.
At some, you place a pin, along with your AMA card on a frequency board. There's no pin in your posession.
An occuoied frequency is one that's covered by the pin on the board.
People have been known to knock them off, put them back in the wrong location, etc.
