one accident would cost us all grief
This is a good point Mr Wells.
Fpv noobees would all like to fly like fpv masters juz and nastycop who have our utmost respect and how they calculate their risk to others.
The road to success will bring crashes for many and even when you reach your goal, my guess is you will still crash, sometimes through no fault of your own or taking risks. A component will break down and your bird will sink. What she hits could determine some horrid freedom robbing legislation and the wrath of the RC world on your shoulders and K Wells.!
I hope we can all respect the current freedom we have, There is nothing wrong taking a risk with your model if its out of harms way, to life and property.
To top it off, we all might be subject to some form of drone regulation,I feel its coming, like the drones themselves. Lets not give the authorities any excuse to crush our fantastic hobby.
The haters out there are sharpening their knives waiting for a F.ck up but cant touch us when we have fun safely. This is how we win and they loose.
I want to protect my hobby like the next man.
