Yes, I agree: In any interest group, whether it's model flying, fishing, motorcycling... etc, there are always those that are prepared to home in and shout loudly about the dangers of that particular following and why it should be banned. Without the correct procedures that we should all be prepared to maintain our sport would be at risk. And that's how it should be.

We all have a responsiblity to keep our sport safe if we want to keep on doing it.

By the way, my day job is Health and Safety manager for GKN Aerospace - and I've got as many prop scars on my hands as the next aeromodeller...
