Default RE: Hanging Stuff From An RC Model Aircraft



ORIGINAL: STLPilot

Here is a video we made a couple years back.

STL,

That video was absolutely horrifying. I can’t believe you guys took such risks. You apparently have no reverence for our great hobby.

I would expect that if a line got entangled in a control surface or damaged a control rod it would cause the model to go out of control and would be very dangerous. Such stunts are detrimental to the hobby. You are probably one of the reasons AMA’s membership is declining…well at least by one.

Just how did you get AMA to approve a stunt like that?

I think I need to fire off an email for clarification.
