The best _102.

I agree that lablover should have talked with the guy. However the guy was flying maneuvers against the pattern. He obviously knew better and caused a susequent midair. It is painfully obvious to me that the guy know's he owes lablover a new plane.

As I suggested, I would try to talk to the guy again, and come to an agreement that is acceptable to both parties. If that is not acceptable then ask the club officers and for sure the safety officer. If the guy in question happens to be an officer of the club then you go to the officer who is above him.

We as modelers know when we do something wrong or stupid and most of us try to do the right thing. I know that times are hard and maybe the guy does not have the money to buy lablover a new plane.

That is why I suggested an agrrement that both parties can live with.

If this had been my airplane, for sure before I left the field we both would have had an understanding.

Flying against the pattern is just stupid when there are more than 2 airplanes airborne.

As I stated earlier lablover should get a new plane from this guy.
