BTW Jim, good rules and system your club has. What happens if the member refuses to "buy" the plane he just shot down? Is he kicked out of the club?
AHhh, we have never had that "test" and I am not interested in seeing someone try it!
I very strongly suspect that if Frank Flightpack refused to "buy" a plane he just shot down, he would find the club flying fields very unfriendly places. I also suspect that the victim would take actions similar to the jet guy.
The really hard one is when someone shoots you down out of carelessness and without knowledge or malice. You know, Franks and his kids shut down for the day and drive off without realizing that their transmitter is still "ON" and you go flying on the same frequency. That eats airplanes and leaves you with no sure clue just a hint of an idea of what MIGHT have happened based on other instances of carelessness. BTDT and do not like it! There is no recourse as there is no proof and even mentioning the possibility can cause grief
