I've seen kids as young as six run their 'nitro" cars in school yards and often stop to watch and chat with them. Sometimes I ask if they have any problems with complaints or getting kicked off. Not once in at least a half dozen encounters has anyone ever mentioned being bothered by neighbours or the local constabulary. Myself, I fly 1/2A at the local park. I always fly with a muffler and these small engines on diesel are even milder in tone. In 15 years of park flying small engines, not one single time have I ever had a complaint. Once a big cop came over and I thought,,, trouble,,, but no, he just wanted to watch and chat and find out more. Every single summer I get a dozen or so interested parties stop by and take up the entire flying session with questions, comments and general amazement that such things existed. I send them to the local club.

I find this kind of odd. An amazingly well performing, unique, rubber model that's far superior to the Delta Dart and the only comments are safety? Safety with a RUBBER powered model? How on earth could such a model ever require an insurance claim ?????

Imagine a youngster showing up at a MAAC, club field with this rubber model and wanting to fly it. Sorry kid, MAAC membership required.
