BTW, thanks David G for being the only lonely voice in the wilderness looking after the safety of this community. For those attacking you, all I could say is “How soon do we forget”. Was it not less than 6 months ago when a product manufactured by this company failed at an air show and killed a family?
Thank you so much. More supportive mails were waiting when I got back tonight,
Just as Jackie Stewart did something to improve safety in Formula 1 someone needs to speak up, seriously, about safety in this hobby, and no I don't believe in a nanny state approach. I wont get it right for everyone, but by God I'm getting some support for speaking up about this issue. The best safety systems in the world are aviation and nuclear power, I passionately believe we should follow their example.
I aslo passionately believe it is far better to speak up BEFORE a big accident rather than try to get the horse back in the stable AFTER the event. Others may take a different view. .........................and please don't forget that this model crashed about 200 feet away from me , about 1.5 seconds flight time !
Regards, David Gladwin.
