GB,
How do you think people first learned to fly RC. Pretty hard to find an instructor for something when you are one of the first.
Have you ever lived in a rural area? From your response I'm asuming no. Your agruements about the dangers involved don't hold as much water when we are talking about rural areas.
I'm not saying one should try it alone if alternatives exist but to make such a big deal when somebody states that they did do it is getting really tiring. Remember its their property, their plane and their life!!!!
