The local R/C club here has insurance for all it's members and they are only flown in that specific area. Lord help the idiot that's out flying one of them at some event and it crashes and kills someone on the ground!
Ha Ha. My step dad has over 120 remote control airplanes. He flys early every morning and late every evening on the golf couse across the road from his house. One afternoon when he was flying he lost power in the plane and it hit a guy (luckily it was one of his friends) in the ankle that was on the green. Cut him pretty bad and he had to go to the hospital to get stitches. Really lucky he was going slow and getting ready to land and lucky he didn't hit him in the head!
Typical golfer, he was mad and still picks at my step dad because he had a good round going andhad to leave and go to the hospital.
Some of his planes / jets (all electric) can fly a good bit over 100mph.
