Not wanting to start a new post I figure that this one is very closely related to what I need to know.
A few weeks ago a local club had an electric fly-in. There were about 4 planes in the air, three of them were doing 3-D. This one fellow launches a really hot delta wing plane in the air and starts doing high speed low passes down the runway. The crowd was really enjoying this. One of the fellows that had been flying a 3-D biplane flies a landing pattern and is about to touch down when this delta comes screaming from the other direction and just misses it by inches. The guy flying the bipe retreives his plane and walks up to the guy who just landed his delta and tells him he almost hit his $1500 airplane.
My question, as a newby, is would I be liable for someone elses plane if I hit it and I was at fault. I can usually land a plane now without having to make repairs but I'm not always in perfect control. Just wondering if that person could sue me for damages. Would AMA step in with insurance and buy the plane?
