RC at a baseball game?
Just saw a news story on HLN that shows someone flying a Park Zone Sukhoi at a Dodgers game. At first I thought is was funny then the anchor reporting the story says " who knows what could be in that thing". Not a good representation for our hobby.
If you remove the threat of terrorism, it is kinda of amusing. The flight ended with the battery dumping and a player stepping on it and then breaking it into pieces. |

Re: RC at a baseball game?
I'm sure the guy thought it was funny as crap too. Given the scrutiny we are under with the pending FAA UAS rules now is not the time to draw attention to ourselves.
But like I've said before, we are our own worst enemies.

People are stupid. But we have known this for thousands of years.

Re: RC at a baseball game?
Yeah.... not a good way to represent our hobby. Although the crowd was amused!

Re: RC at a baseball game?
My Question is how did a fan get that in there?, I have never been to a MLB game but have been to alot of NFL games at different stadiums and I know I would never get thru security with that.

Re: RC at a baseball game?

Then it would have been a total positive deal!!! |
