Martin,
I am surprised at your take on Daryl's positing. I can assure you
that a collision between a model and man carrying air vehicle could have dire
consequences for both pilots. RC flying exists only because our
organization has succeeded in convincing the FAA that we are all reasonable
people that would never knowingly pose a danger to aerial navigation. We must
all conduct our flying activities so that we can never cause a collision or near
miss with a full size aircraft. I have to assume that you are not a pilot, if
you had flight experience you would realize how hard it is to see a model while
you are on approach. Because of ground clutter and probably afternoon glare it
is nearly impossible to see a model flying near you. Because of this
disadvantage for the full-size pilot, the model flyer must always
immediately maneuver a model away from the flight path of a full-size
vehicle. Being on the ground you have a much better view of what is going on
than the poor guy making his approach. I hope all model flyers take this
obligation seriously. I wouldn't want to be the guy who ended RC flying in the
US, while at the same time killing some poor guy and his family just trying to
get home. As for Daryl overreacting, having the shit scared out of you will do
that to you. Please fly safely, and think about that guy that cant see
you. Larry Jolly
