RE: Hobbyzone Phantom
As I have said on many occassions, inconsiderate flyers are our worst enemy. I was speaking to a flyer the other day who was genuinely upset that he had to stop flying when a coach of a little league team complained and threatened to call the cops because the kids were repeatedly distracted by the plane being flown over their heads while they were attempting to play a game of baseball. He just didn't get it. This is the same guy who, two years ago, landed his Minimag directly behind a guy playing center field at a softball game and had the guy trip over the plane as he tried to run back to catch a fly ball.
I have been flying for a little more than 3 years. Most of my flying has been at Kissena Park, which technically does not allow R/C flying. Each summer, careless and dangerous actions by some of the STUPID flyers has resulted in a temporary crack-down by the park police. One time when I witnessed a particularly dangerous activity by one of the fellow flyers, I warned him that if he did not stop, I would call the police, even if it meant that I could no longer fly at that field.
