This video demonstrates the kind of reckless low-level RC model plane flying and disregard for safety that resulted in my MFNZ wings being pulled.
As you can see, many MFNZ rules are broken in this video:
1. I have flown through the pilot box (gasp!)
2. I have flown into a permanent structure (OMG!)
3. I clearly lack sufficient piloting skills (proven by the numerous crashes in this video) to fly without a supervisor or buddy box.
Fortunately, there were no babies at the field or they surely would have been in imminent peril during that entire flight.
But seriously -- perhaps this video demonstrates the fact that rules created in days of huge, oil-soaked, nitro-powered 10lb models are not always relevant in the 21st century where models like the AXN can be flown low, slow and in close proximity with zero risk to pilot or property.
Unfortunately, a certain bunch of grumpy old men prefer to stay mired in the 1960s and consider any suggestions that their rules are out of date to be "contempt" worthy of the most severe punishment.
However, as you can see here, low/slow flying like this is an *excellent* way to hone your flying skills without the risk of breaking your model or your wallet.
