Default RE: Shot Down

Well here is my take on the subject.I own 5 jets(1 ducted fan & 4 turbine) With that in mind I have over $25,000 in jets.We have a strictly controled Frequency board at my flying site along with a few guys(we call them field marshalls) whom closely watch that everyone correctly uses the system & safety guidelines.Still you get a Bozo every now and then who comes out to the field ,doesn't think before turning on or better yet is new at our field & doesnt bother to talk to anyone to find out proper protocall

Most RCer's in proper ethics will own up to his mistake or lack of thinking and pay for a loss that he caused.So far at my field that has always been the case.But in these cases we are talking about a payout of a couple hundred bucks on average-not much money .Well enter my jets in which case we are talking approx. $4000-$8000 each .We(just 6 guys fly jets here) very closely monitor activity to protect against our investments.If some Bozo turns on and causes a loss of one of my jets then gives me some crap about how he cant afford to pay for my jet thereafter there's gonna be a big problem.He will then just go home without his car/truck or even more extreme circumstances will follow
