Default RE: Mid-air this weekend. Anyone to balme??

Absolutely no fault by either flyer. I had my second midair in over 20 years of flying about 2 weeks ago, my Funtana X50 and another friends Twist met right wing to right wing nearly head on and we just laughed about it. If I dumb thumb it, shame on me. If I have an equipment failure, well then I do get a bit pissed unless I led to the failure. But when I have a mid air, well, it is just part of the accepted risk when more then one person is flying at one time.

And I had another guy out there watching me fly, niether of us had a CLUE that the Twist was coming so I do not belive that a spotter will do much good, nor is it in any way practicle unless you are taking part in a Fun Fly where it is normally mandatory.

My 2c.
