Default Bout to cause a stir....

in my community over rc planes and choppers. Yesterday there was an
amateur pilot with a quad flying over the track filming his kids. Here
is the letter I put up on FB to get feedback from my friends...

Just wondering what you all think of Quads and Choppers with Cameras
over the track? Yesterday we encountered this for the first time and
although my rider decided it wasn't going to be an issue, I have to
wonder where it's going. I can see two or three amateur even first time
pilots hovering these things around the front parking lot jump, all
trying to get a shot, eventually there will be an issue... Personally, I
think they are great, I even have one but I think tracks should make
strict rules right here and now that these things are to remain and film
from spectator areas and not be within the confines of the track
itself... I don't mind you risking your own kids, but I don't know your
pilot and don't want my rider being part of your learning curve... Like
I said, *I have one of theses things so don't get all weird on me*, but
I am not pulling it out till I learn to fly it better, and make sure
it's not going to effect any other riders or families on the track...
Just my .02 wonder how you all feel. Please post a note, I may pass it
along to some track owners if I start to see similar attitudes among my
track friends... Just a note, I would have a provision for proven
professionals who fly, but it would be a sign in and sign a release kind
of thing.... Thanks for listening, RMR

Just wonder how you all feel about this stuff.... I think it's probably
illegal to fly over the track anyway, but I am not sure.. One thing I
know, it's gonna' cause a fuss because all the kids who have these
things are um, let's just say they come from families who are uses to
having their own way...
