as a safety officer at our club i and my friend's allway's point out to any new member that should their model go awol and crash while someone else is assisting them to learn the required skill's to fly their model aircraft-there will be no blame attatched to the helper/instructor--- it's one thing flying your own creation-you know what has gone on in the construction stage ect-but flying someone's who is a complete stranger can be daunting-as if you don't know them-and they are new starter's/ novice's it pay's to double check there model over-and make sure that the batt's are fully charged...........we had one newbie who thought his bmfa ins covered his model for repair's etc in the event of a crash............... as someone who has had to claim off the bmfa insurance---take care...... ken anderson............... p.s.--do you really want to claim off your insurance if your flying someone else's plane???Hard to decide/yes-no..........

JP Pretty glider
ken anderson. replied to Former Member's topic in Gliders and Gliding - General Discussion
hello eric----i owned one of the perkin's pretty's for well over a year-the only prob that i've had was one of the brushless motor wire's shorted out on the outside of the motorreplaced the motor with an old typhoon 6(het) better than original---2200 lipo/20c=at least 30min's up in the wild blue yonder--also it's the plane i use for the flycam.................. it's a bargain-well put together c/w motor and brushless controller(think that's the right name--timbo)........... ken anderson........... -
