1 - Sorry I didn't answer your questions, but I thought it was clear with my examples.
2 - If kids play ball on a street and there parents let them, before anything happens I would call the police and have it stopped. Now, if a kid breaks the window, unintentionally then
I have no choice but to fix it myself. But back to the first thing I said, I would try to
prevent this by walking out asking them not to play around parked cars etc. If they continued I would confront the parents then the police.
3 - If an old man hit the ball , then I would ask him to pay for it keeping in mind I asked him not to play around parked cars, if I didn't speak to him before it happened then I guess he would have to repair my window. If he refuses then I would take him to court.
After all he is an adult and should know better
4 - Back to the SHOT DOWN SCENERIO.....All RC flyers at a clubs field don't know better and can't pay for $10000 planes. So I hand it back to you , the choice is yours, fly knowing this and suffer the consequences or just find some where else to fly which suits your style of aircraft. Whether $1 or $10000.
5 - I sure would fly a park flyer in a park with 20 other park flyers trying to do there own thing.
1 - I felt you added circumstance to the setting I provided and therefore avoiding the point I wanted to make.
2 - You are not respsible for others ill doings, intentional or not. You are responsible for your actions only. Most parents own homes right? They then have home owner insurance which cover damage on other man's property. You
do have a choice.
3 - He should have known better and if damage occur he would be expected to pay up without being asked to. He knew the risk and he took it.
4 - If I did get shot down in a club enviroment, I have then just suffered the consequences. Then I would expect the guilty party to suffer theirs. Common sense wouldnt you say?
5 - No problem there. Just be aware of the dogs, they might think your toy is a frisbee
Happy flying
