OK- tail touches are an AMA no no - as are any reach out and touch the model tricks.
the reasoning is really very good .
When a real Pro does it and a real Newbee sees it has to try it - you have a made to order disaster.
I have done quite a bit of accident investigation - professionally --and do know what I am talking about.
When it comes right down to it -the "trick" stuf done and shown in many model venues - is simply very risky.
.We have a real problem here .
how do we make these little bitty electrics -which are such fun----safe for the novice?
Really -- these things do command respect-
I have seen too many close calls with the foamies - and did some of them -
A really hot 3D setup -on a 10 oz model can get really wild in a split second.
We really better all use some serious safety judgement -before someone causes a serious accident.
