I have to agree about the safety issue. The place I used to fly at had both advanced flyers and complete boneheads. It was a county owned park that had a spot for RC flyers. The worst was the parents that had little to no control over their kids who had just pulled their planes out of the box and were crashing into the flightline were we were standing. Not to mention the general public who didn't realize a trex 600 could cut your head off and walked right across the flying field. Now that I'm at a club field is nice to know I don't have to duck from killer guided missles piloted by people not paying attention. It's perfect though first thing in the morning when it's empty so I can try out something I did on the sim.
I really agree about the kid issues in the parks, now Im a father of two and I will sit and show my sons how such a wonderful thing like flying can be dangerous. I also teach them when we go to the field and if someone is flying dont ask that person question until they land. Trex to P51 you need to concentrate to have fun
.. I actually had three dumb dumb kids see me flying the Rex and Did a B-line right towards it and wanted to see if the wind would hit there heads..I put the rex about 60 foot up then came back to me and landed it. And looked towards I suppose the parents in discuss since they thought it was cute... Hey Mom look a Trex I wonder if I can stop the blades with my tongue...AAARRRRRRR
