Are we arguing about where to fly or about who is responsible for the described scenario?
Anyhow, it would not be the 10yr old that would pay if such a claim were made good, his legal guardians would be responsible for that.
Do you expect people to respect your property?
I thought it was a discussion, If I had a dollar for every time I heard of a kid causing damage to some ones property and the owner of the property tries to sue the parent which never flies in court I would one rich man. All I can say is use common sense, even if you use the field for your over expensive planes try to reserve time for flying it alone with no one to cause such accidents.
If I was out flying and a kid some how turns his radio on and it miraculously is on the same channel as mine and I go in , I wouldn't expect anything but an apology and probably would never fly on that frequency again or even at the field again knowing it can happen again and agian and again...... Hell I might just go back to flying little electrics
.
This is a discussion, I'm challenging your comments
Is it hard to answer my questions?
If one of the kids in your area decided to play baseball in the street in front of your house and the ball go through the windscreen of your car, do you just shrug it off and pay for it yourself or would you expect his parents to cover that cost? Or if its your 50yr old neighbour that strikes the ball, then what?
The case is, one person cause damage to your property due to negligence. What is the right thing to do? The answer to the last question is "it depends".
