This weekend I was at my field - I am a new flyer who just got his wings this season - I had my pin on the board, another pilot told me he was on the same channel. The system worked just like it needed to, I told him I was charging my TX and the box was not in the impound, he went up as he wanted, taking my pin off the board. As soon as I was fully charged, I took the TX to impound, making very sure that it was turned off and would not be a problem.

Simple communication and common sence ensured that we did not have a problem together - why do some people find it to be so hard.

Sorry for your loss.

BTW - if it makes you feel any better, I burried my plane on my next flight, it would seem proper TX controls cannot prevent pilot error.
