RCpilot - Its not the original question that sets people off, its the bashers that jump in and start up about how 3D is so dangerous. You may or may not have had an agenda when you asked the question but the bashers love to get on these threads and talk about how 3D pilots are bad bad bad. That being said, I read your question as "stirring the pot". Whether you meant it that way or not, look at where the discussion has gone.

"I don't much care for teenage slang and skateboarders or BMX teenagers." This sorta gives some insight into how your question was meant. 3D is starting to be the skateboarding side of RC. People don't understand it so they try to get rid of it.

This is a 3D forum and I am proud to say I love the style of flying, I do so safely, and I get irritated by the bashers who have no idea what they are talking about.

If I went over to the warbird forum and asked "why do warbird flyers make high speed low passes right over the runway?", do you think they'd assume I was just wondering why that's a fun thing to do or that I was attacking the style of flying? I bet they don't appreciate the question.
