Default RE: minimum vision requirements to fly RC?

Lemme add in something funny about the old guy who flies at our place. He was flying the WM motorised glider and enjoyed it. One morning he was so relaxed that he took his eyes off it to get his cap (he was sitting on a small chair to fly) ... he could not find the glider! We usually hang around him when he flies but that time no one was with him. That's why we should fly as much as we can whilst we are able to.

As for EP helis flying close, just be careful ... one guy here lost an eye. The 450 heli's blade caught both eyes and he lost one. Sucks! This was a flying session near the beach and that may explain why it happened.
