RE: Lanier Quality
Try and see what it is like in other countries. I haven't even been to Denmark, but I've lived in Germany and visited other countries like Holland and Belgium. Those countries are jam packed with people, buildings, and roads. It is almost impossible to find a place like the little field we take for granted where I live. What I learned in Germany from the rc people was that crowded conditions meant lawsuits if a plane went out of control and the unthinkable happened. I was really surprised by this and that was in 1983! Plus, it doesn't take a lot of surfing on RCU to find that most European countries suffer from strict noise controls. I remember reading a message from a guy in England who was asking for help to get his OS .46FX to pass the noise test. Yikes! So, I would find the inspection system understandable. Also, I know that you have to take 'checkrides' in England to participate in their tiered system. We have it pretty good in almost all aspects.
Okay, I've said my thing about what European rc people have to deal with. I'm certainly not one to enjoy excessive bureacracies! Ask anybody who knows me. I find most rules unbearable. I'm not defending senseless rules/regs. Just thought I would throw this in before I get flamed.
I think Joen would appreciate the wide open freedoms that a lot of us have over here if he were to fly with us. We, on the other hand, would find it frustrating a lot of times to fly in Europe. And, I didn't mention the excessive costs of nitro in a lot of countries either.
Only Joen and other Danes can tell us if the system is excessive.
editted to add: DT-56, I wasn't trying to come on as argumentive and maybe I didn't do a good job. I see what you meant after I reread what you wrote.
