RE: My First Airshow!
I am assuming that you FLY with PCM or some other receiver that has fail safe and have it set correctly?
Another thing to consider is that the fly sight you are flying out of my not have been known to be a clean place to fly--at our designated places to fly we have a better idea as to what the chance are that we will sustain a radio hit. In all my flights I have only sustained one radio hit that I know for sure. It just happened to be at a school yard--there were no kids around as it was a Sunday and I was park flying with my foamy. I have not gone back to that place to fly again.
Don't get be wrong, I do think it is great for everyone to be exposed to the RC flight & I am sure it is a lot of fun. If you go to TOC competitions(these are the best in the world with the best equipment in the world), usually you won't see the best competitors in the world doing high speed passes low and close to the crowd. And when they are doing their hovering it is also away from the crowd--they may walk out across the runway to stand next to it.
Do you think you can get the AMA to give you a [sm=thumbup.gif] on your actions? Do you think your AMA insurance was covering you during your expo?
