    25 years ago when I was still flying RC models, a competition spec aerobatic model went rogue possibly due to a previous flyers transmitter still being on. It hit a 10 year old lad 6 feet away from me in the back of the head, killing him instantly. After 40 years of flying, I ceased that afternoon. Never ve off your guard!

      Fortunately the reliability of our gear is much higher these days and models are increasingly made of frangible and energy-absorbent materials (such as foam). However, as you rightly point out, one should always be keeping safety foremost in one's mind and, despite the very few tragedies that have occured, this remains one of the safest hobbies in the world, both for participants and onlookers.

    Aw Bruce, you shouldn't have, magpies in spring just for me (and PETA and the other animal rights groups in that settlement and those classes you now have to take once a week)

      "Animals die so people can get high" re. New Zealand. Is animal abuse just another day in the life for you people? Some bad mojo there. Google turns up pages, "SPCA's List of Shame 2021", "Animal Abuse on the Rise" about man's best friend, at least in places that don't eat them.

      The small ones have a far more service availability too.
