RE: Flying and Beer?
Not that I want to ever be lumped into agreeing with Hoss.
Free flight is frankly amazing to me. Being able to build to that level and recover something you have tossed to the four winds is an amazing feat. Hats off to anyone that has ever been good at it.
I frankly would have no problem with anyone drinking at a free flight rubber fun fly or contest. I think the chance of getting hurt is pretty small. When you start to introduce the next level however, your just asking for trouble. (meaning any powerplant other than rubber.) But then I have not seen any high end rubber motor free flight stuff, perhaps its dangerous as well.
