Firstly, all of them in the pics should know better ! Anything can go wrong and the event co-ordinator knows that . . . . Just because Joe Bloggs can 'Handle' a model like this doesn't make it right at a show or anywhere else for that matter. When flying at the BMFA nats Showline, pilots who fly closer than the runway centre line get a sever b0ll0cking by the flight line CD, and rightly so too.

Imagine for one second what could happen with a Stingray doing 230mph and a linkage let's go . . . . . . Would that one be cool ? ?


FYI:
Just had a peek at the SAA (Scottish Aeromodellers Association) Safety Code and in it, it stipulates that any show model should be flown at lest 20 Meters from the FAR EDGE of the runway during any show. This ensures ALL persons are safe.
