RE: Why Stand So Close?
Man people have been huckin down on the deck for quite a while. Going on nearly 10 years with big planes. If you have some sort of kill switch that is TX operated then you have more safety then your average sport flyer. For me I will keep hucking them down on the deck. Blaine Austin has been a great promoter of 3D flying - safely.
Forget living somewhere when people tell me how to fly my toy planes. Some people have fun flying circles, some people have fun flying IMAC, some people have fun flying gliders and some like to 3D! I honestly enjoy all types and each can be dangerous if you are not careful.
I also wonder how many people that bash the large planes flying 3D either have large planes or can fly 3d. There is actual skill involved. Its funny that when I flew at an IMAA only field no one ever complained about big planes or how they fly.
