RE: Sepulveda Basin
You'll never see me fly another one of my RC models at the basin. Last October or so I went down there to fly jets with some friends. On the first flight of my new turbine Sabre one of the local idiots took my pin down, put his up, and turned on. Splashed my Sabre into the golf course. He denied everything and I had to go to court. I won the case but now I'm in the wonderful worl of collection.
I've heard that this kind of thing is very common there. No real control on the field.
I'm just very thankful it didn't hit somebody. I can't imagine how complicated my life would be if that had happened.
