Just curious, flying at midnight? Do you have some type of heat seaking search light to follow your plane, or were you going to fly-by-sound?
I highly doubt you could see the attitude of your plane 100' away from you going 50mph. When you loose sight of attitude and direction, and the plane nose dives into your chest, like it did last year to a guy in Arizona(I think) who lost his plane in the sun. Will your family and friends think you made a wise choice?
You can't kill people managing a LAN/WAN, but people can die from poor decisions flying RC.
Sure, accidents happen, but there are many things that can be done to avoid them.

Document your next flight, might be good for the Darwin Awards.
