*** PLEASE READ before Commenting*** The 2011 Sibley Fly-In had very few crashes, but still a few!
Everywhere I ever flew over the past 55 years of modeling, there were crashes. Most happened from brain fade or inexperience.
Back then, many of them happened because of radio interference or equipment failure.
But they do happen and everybody involved with modeling knows they and the spectators must pay attention at all times when someone is flying. What could go wrong?
We don't put too many planes in the air at the same time and usually let the heli guys have their turn too. Many do not, but me being committed to AMA safety rules, I try to fly safely and allow everybody their turn.
And if your going to make a high speed pass down the runway, call it first to alert folks and other pilots. If unsafe, do not do it.
And join the AMA to have the camaraderie and the insurance....just in case.

Also, please do not be offended if I cannot reply to all PMs and comments, as I cannot answer everybody with approx 500 videos of mine that people make comments on everyday. I do read the comments as and when I can.
Due to the numbers, I cannot answer all the questions I already made videos on. That is why I made the video...you know!
Also, please be sure to comment, rate, and subscribe.
Thanks kindly again for watching and subscribing.
