ORIGINAL: P-51BI don't think you made a case at all for an exception. Ever been hit in the head by a 2 lb object traveling at 60mph?
Heck a baseball only weighs around 5 ounces and kids have been killed by those.
I think his point was; all other factors being the same, smaller, lighter models have lower risks than larger, heavier models. How can anyone argue with that?
Reality is, by virtue of nature, more precautions are taken with larger more expensive models...evening out the differential to a high degree.
At some point risk becomes acceptable...where is that point...where you say...where I say...or what?
Maybe just scrap rule #4 in the general SC and leave it up to CD’s, particular events and competition rules, since it really is only material at that point of their interaction anyway.
Anyway, if we would just ban baseball and model flying the world would be much more safe…
