You all are right, even the smallest RC model, can be potentially deadly! However, I feel that some of these monsters could inflict multiple injuries to multiple people. My opinion here, is that there gets to be a size point, where a model stops being a model, but a accident waiting to happen. It only takes one of these monsters to wipe out a couple of people, and get it brought to the attention to the of media, that our nice little hobby, gets a black eye. I agree with our 50 pound weight limitation imposed by the A.MA., then requiring a waiver.
well i guess we need to stop driving cars. there are so big and deadly. at last count i think great big suv's have killed more people than an oversized model. i dont feel the 50lb limit is fine being that there are lost of people with lots of talent out there who can build and fly a very large plane. the physics all work the same what goes up will come down. it just depends upon how you bring it down. the media will cast a shadow on what ever it wants to go or bad people just have to read between the lines and judge for themselves. oh by the way before someone gets on me about the suv comment i do drive one of these great big gas guzzlers and i like it. dont like the gas bill [:@] but need the size to carry the trailor around.
