But wait, I thought these fliers were super safe? "Impeccable" safety record I think they've been saying. You're not saying that 55lb aircraft at 200mph are a risk are you?
The little electric heli that you fly in the schoolyard is a risk, so your attempt at the leading question and comparison is a fail.
Impeccable is about right...I don't think that's far off. There is no "perfect". Heavy planes that go fast are a risk, but one that the AMA seems to have no problem getting coverage for. Nobody is stopping anyone from trying to start their own alternative to the AMA. With what's been written this week, it should be easy to replace the leadership there and start over, or in the alternative, start their own group.
If the price is right...I'm in!
