Hum .................. Safety is your issue. Maybe the next step is to band Glow and Gas motors. You know for safety ................ Here is an write up from another web site i visit time to time.

1. While starting the plane in question they placed their fingers extremely close to the wildly spinning prop that was over 12 INCHES long. Do you realize how often you need your fingers? Do you know how hard it is to reattach a finger after it has been severed? NOT EASY! And yet these !QUOT!RESPONSIBLE!QUOT! men might as well have made playing with lawnmower blades their hobby BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THEY ESSENTIALLY DO everytime they start or tune a plane!

2. It doesn't stop there. After the motor was spinning at speeds in excess of 9,000 rpm THEY RELEASED THE PLANE! That's right the plane was on the runway with no one holding it. That plane could get a bad signal, the battery could die OR ANYTHING could cause that plane to go out of control just sitting on the runway. RECKLESS??? YOU BET!!!!

3. It gets worse. Now we have a whirling lawnmower blade loose on the world with nothing but a radio signal to control it. Then the guys get a really crazy idea, 'LET'S FLY IT AROUND IN THE SKY!!!! INSANITY!!!
This plane could loose control at any moment. It could get a hit or more likely the pilot could loose it and plow the 5 pound plane into INNOCENT CHILDREN.

I for one will not stand by while these 1 percenters, these RC zealots take not only their lives in their own hands but the whole worlds

I did cut out a few lines from his write up. Lets take it all the way then.

Band all Gas and glow motors.
Band all RC airplanes over 5 pounds.

This is where you are going right? For those of you that get mad about the 1% of the RC flyers that can perform extreme 3D flights, GET OVER IT! I support those who want to learn 3D flight to the Masters of 3D flight.

Are you sure you are not getting upset for these guys taking your thunder away? Maybe you are getting upset over the idea that people are enjoying, watching the extreme 3Ders over your left turning high dollar extremely nice looking airplane.

Get over it and I think that Dave needs to relax and enjoy the whole hobby. I see no AMA rules being broken performing 3D flight as long as you do not fly over the pits. spin flip what ever from the runway out, There is not an issue.
