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?
I think he was trying to say that a 2lb 60mph can't hurt anyone and should be exempt from rule 4.

Anyway, if we would just ban baseball and model flying the world would be much more safe…

Careful, the FAA committee may be monitoring this thread, and baseballs do travel in the air...in some cases within three miles of an airport!
