It's all about moderation and self control.....

RC flying requires more skill than does driving an automobile, but for someone with experience it can be done after consuming a couple of brews.

I don't advocate it, I wouldn't tell someone it's a good idea....but I also won't take the teetotaler approach to life (which is generally annoying)

Contrary to what teetotalers would like everyone to believe...people can mesh a little alcohol and activity and still be responsible and reasonable about it.

But the rules are the rules. I'd rather not see any accidents associated with drinking and operating RC Airplanes. Besides...the forest preserve cops will ticket you for alcohol on Forest Preserve grounds...
