Yeah I think you are blowing this up a bit. There are dangers with a out of control turbine powered jet for sure. I have one of the arf Macchi on order and think it will be a nice everyday semi scale flyer, sort of like a Roo or HS but a scale jet. Also the cost is low and coupled with one of the small engines (Ram 500 type) for around 2k it would be a super package that will go together quickly. Although there are fire dangers in many states Ct, isn`t one of them. I grew up there and as kids we TRIED to light the woods in fire but couldn`t get much more than the dead leaves to burn!!
