Hopefully he got a big education and understand how big we are and how we can help the FAA to pass on the word because of the safety record we have. We can help control the problem not become a part of it.
I commend him for attending the expo and doing the Q&A. He didn't have too.
Hoot Gibson is huge good news for modelers. He is a lifelong modeler and probably will wind up in the AMA hall of fame at some point. Whether he can move the leviathan or not is the question, but he is definitely in our corner.
