Joe, not sure suggesting that some people think turbines are "life threatening", while even that might be true, I wasn't at the meetings and have no idea what the decision makers believe to be so threatening about RC turbine jets as to require the waiver process. Know what I mean?
That said, it is what it is, and the waiver process is now much simpler, just deal with it fellas, it's cheap insurance (so to speak
)
You can't tell me that a 10 pound plane does not present less of a hazard than a 30 pound one.
And you cannot tell me that the PERCEPTION of such a plane is not different.
And, again, perception is reality. Take your MW44 with L-39, a 48 inch plane, to your local field, and fire it up, then take your Fiberclassics Mig-29 with two P-120s to the same field and fire it up. Ask people which they think is more dangerous.
So maybe this has the possibility of opening up more fields to turbines?
