Default RE: 5000+ feet video flight

I remember that. No famous media star was involved so it faded from the news very quickly.
I am surprised the liberal media out here didnt start a big scare about "Assualt Planes" or something. Channel 4 would have had a field day. Shown pattern planes diving into watermellons.

If an accident between a model and a full size happens, the hobby will get a black eye and some serious FAA mandated restrictions.
Maybe, maybe not.
10 or 15 years ago, a couple of morons INTENTIONALLY piloted their Right-Flyer 40T into the Goodyear Blimp.
They penetrated the envelope and it was forced to land.

It was in the news for maybe 2 days.
