yeah, someone one day is going to make a hood ornament of one. Most of these guys don't talk on the radio and a great percentage of them do not have a flippen clue what safety means.

I was down in Mosselbay this week and saw these guys fly up and down the coast in the mornings. The thing that ALL of them did was to fly not more than 3m above the beach, circling above the caravan park where I was staying with his wheels just above the trees. For crying out loud, it was as good as silly season with lots and lots of people around. If he had an engine out there he would have had to plant the thing in someone's caravan, killing himself and most prob someone on the ground as well. Same for the beach. If he looses the engine at that height, how will he avoid the 100's of people on the beach?!?

Reckless!!!
