There is no licensing requirement for the R/C hobby, and probably never will be. Which means that if a tragedy involving a large-scale electric were to happen, it would be detrimental to the hobby as a whole.




I agree with your post for the most part but I have a bit of a problem with the above passage.

I am not sure just how an accident from one model incident would be detrimental to the hobby as a whole. Maybe...just maybe, some limitations, as it should be, to prevent future accidents as it pertained to any particular accident may be made but I really don't understand how the ramifications should be termed detrimental to the hobby as a whole.

Other activities such as boating, hunting, sky diving, mountain climbing...come to mind. People get hurt or killed often but the activities continue...why should ours be relegated to less fair persecutions?
