RE: Hosting a Combat event: How to get started?
Great work biged!
Hope you got some guys hooked on combat!
A couple of constructive observations I must make though.
You guys are fying .40+ sized planes. You GOTTA make sure NO ONE is in front of the pilot line, that spectators are at least 200-250' (depending on the biggest size plane you've got flying) behind the safety line and that EVERYONE in front of the spectator line has a hardhat on. Some of your guys may poo-poo this, but for the sake of safety, you have to enforce it. I've been in 2 combat situations, one as a pilot and one as a line judge where a midair occured and full throttle wingless fuselage lawndarted within 10' from me.
Otherwise, have fun and now see if you can talk your guys into building dedicated combat planes!
START COMBAT!
