Mid Air Question

[Wayne Galligan]

I think IMAC has an interference rule but I don't think pattern does.
Usually the collision occurs faster then one could react to avoiding it.
Even with callers or observers it still happens.  All part of being in a
finite area and most people are trying to fly at that ideal position between
125-150 meters out.

Knocking on wood....
