RE: My First Airshow!
There are people on here trying to be nice to you and let you know in a nice way that what you did is not very smart. The more people try to make their point, the more you rebuke them. There are many things to do that are fun, but you need to realize the risks as well. Maybe nothing will happen. Maybe you won't get a glitch. Maybe all your connections will stay together and your transmitter won't suddenly have a cold solder joint that fails at the wrong time. Maybe your thumbs are very intelligent and they never go the wrong way. Maybe the model never goes into the bright sun and maybe all the kids stay put and don't run out in front of the plane during a low pass or try to touch it while you are hovering. Maybe your engine won't backfire and spin the prop off. Maybe, none of these things happens to you, but if something like that does, you have no insurance to cover property damage and no insurance for medical bills. Attorneys love it when people need them to try to help them save their but while they are being sued, (yes, that's how you spell it), for negligence, and endangerment. How long does a tank full of fuel last? About 10 minutes or so? One little problem during that 10 minutes could change your life forever. Just think about it that way, and maybe you will understand that the people on here are your friends and are only trying to keep you on the right track.
I'm not trying to put you down by my comments. Just trying to help you see how easy it is for something very bad to happen that could get you in a world of trouble.
