My Posts This: Topic Forum | I'd have to agree there, that's a public park.
He really should not be flying there at all.
Too many people walking by , a playground nearby etc.
He's not doing anything REALLY stupid, that's good, but
still, things happen, gust of wind, broken part, radio brownout
and that could have a very bad ending.
In some ways it's too easy to get into helis, only about $250 or so,
and you could have a Trex-450 clone flying. That's the cost of an
iPod.
Hopefully someone gave him a reasoned talk about what could happen
if and when the bird gets away from him. Most reasonable people would
not want to be part of hurting anyone and would look for a better place
to fly. Of course, most people are going to blow off someone who
runs up in hysterics or an internet post full of caps and !!!s.
Might also remind the pilot that RC flying is banned in public parks by local ordinance in a lot of places, and after a few more publicized accidents, probably everywhere else.
Last thing this hobby needs is Faux News to grab hold of some incident and blow it completely out of proportion. |
