Well you thinking it matters and it actually mattering are two different things. It still numbs my brain to think there are model pilots out there that think you have some sort of rights or whatever relative to full size.
Hey, great, lets play the opinion game:
Well

It still numbs
my brain to think there are RCU posters out there
that think this has ANYTHING to do with right of way.
This has nothing to do with right of way of the model,
from the very first post we knew the model pilot did everything right...
GG yeilded to the Heli without hesitation.
NOW,
since we know this is not about what we should do, since we know and do it,
we can concentrate on condemning the News heli pilot
that was way too low ON TRANSIT....
he was not low & filming, he was going from A to B way too low & fast over an occupied park.
2 seperate situations:
a) Heli flys too low around town
b) Model might collide with manned aircraft
B was resolved by proper prior planning to prevent poor perfomance:
GG knew what to do & did it. Right of Way is a non-issue
A....
yeah, A is the thing we are talking about... the heli flys transit over occupied parks too low
