CP you are exactly correct. But the fact is we don't know what the Heli Pilot's intention was. This is what takes me back to the discussion of "report or not to report" or "Right Vs Wrong".

The Heli Pilot will have a solid CYA story to tell. If he can sell it to the FAA, then the RC flying community gets attention it don't want.

Again, my opinion is that the Heli Pilot is wrong. However, my level of belief isn't strong enough, without the facts, to draw attention the the hobby that could back fire...Therefore, I would be unwilling to take a leap of faith and report it.

OK, this is now a circular discussion right?
