Default RE: Please recommend a plane

OK....I'll start off telling you why this post worried me in the first place.....You could tell he wasn't an RC pilot.....so he's a beginner...fine....what beginner cares about the payload capacity of an aircraft?

Noticed he used the term payload.......what can 2 lbs do? Alot, I don't want to say in an open forum....but 2 Lbs is plenty depending on the payload......and a crowded area where there are lots of people in the open.....

Living in fear....I think not....Do you open your front door at 1 in the morning if there is a knock? Or do you look out the window....If like most of us you look out the window are you living in fear...of course not you are being careful as we were by not being to forth coming with info....

Once questioned the OP became defensive.....down playing any danger...are there documented incidents of using RC as a weapon...not on our scale..that I know of.....have there been incidents where someone was killed by RC planes.....yes The last one was in Brazil last fall......an accident...but it happened

The OP asked us what we thought he was up to....I don't know.....but now I am back to why are you wanting to know about the payload capacity of an aircraft.....

There is a difference between living in fear and being careful.....when you live in fear you change your routine.....when you're being careful you see something and ask a question before being forthcoming with info......I doubt any of us has changed our routines.....

Just my opinion....Good flying to all
