Hello all, Yes, I'm in total agreement with Mr. Bullard on this one. Foam planes ARE supposed to be in control of "thinking humans". As Mr. Bullard has so eloquently stated, "Obviously some are not". Mr. Bullard I'm sure is talking from first hand knowledge and should be paid attention to by all. As I'm sure Mr. Bullard knows and can attest to, there is a time and a place for foam pieces of crap to be flown. Most likely, (I'm not sure on this one and don't want to put words in his mouth) I'd say Mr. Bullard would most likely agree that foamies should never be flown near airports or also when expensive, beautiful and detailed glass RC gliders are in the air. Would you say this is an accurate assessment of your thoughts on the subject Mr. Bullard?

And how many of those vehicles were doing 120kts or more? Because of their construction and speed, planes are tremendously more vulnerable to strike damage than any ground based "vehicle." The comparison with birds is ridicules. Birds don't carry lead ballast and nose weight. Lead, you know, the stuff bullets are made out of. Birds are also not under human control and don't understand planes. Foam planes are suppose to be in control of a thinking human. Obviously some are not. "Over-reaction." Ok Martin. Let somebody put your life in danger and see how you over-react. Randy RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
