I do admit that I'm very aware of the safety problem when I'm alone at the field. I"m always doubly, doubly careful. But you're right that accidents can happen. Still, I agree that you can't waste your life waiting for a "buddy."

Anyway, my point, which was already off-topic, was that an awful lot of people who like to think of themselves as "flyers rather than builders" are actually more into socializing at the field than anything else. I do all my RC socializing online so the field is really just for flying.

And of course all of MY socializing at the field has to be in Japanese!
