RE: MAAC 3d safety rules
Flying safely? This is the question! A few years ago members of the club decided to ban inverted flying over the runway. Only one member did this. The perception was it was unsafe. The reason it was considered unsafe were those that couldn't fly inverted at all let alone over the runway. Several members stated we would rather see a proficient pilot inverted over the runway than most fly upright over the runway.
After an IMAC contest a few years ago Branwell McClory was entertaining us with his skill at 3D and dipping the rudder in a pond. During this display 2 pilots decided to do some additional practice. There was a loud crunch and the sky was filled with the remains of 35 and 40% aircraft since the pilots decided not to use a spotter. Fly safely and keep an eye out for your flying buddies.
