[NSRCA-discussion] Stolen RC Plane

[Bill Glaze]

Malicious destruction of property, for one.  Mis-use of an RF frequency, for another.  (usually pretty minor, can lead to a large fine if misused in a harmful way.The  FCC has been known to be in a pretty bad mood, occasionally, with absolutely no sense of humor.)  I'd think that it would be possible to prove that he could have put lives in jeopardy, with a smart D.A. (contradiction in terms, I know.)   Bill Glaze

  So how does the DA prove he was shooting planes down RF wise (cops will not give tickets fo rthing they do not see) and what law did he break?

  I happened to be at that race in Madera.  The Sheriff's Dept. arrested him; the word in the racing fraternity at the time was that he was tried, judged guilty, and spent some time in the crossbars hotel.  About restitution, I have no idea.

  That reminded me of something that happened years ago. At one of the first giant-scale air races out west, a guy was caught shooting down planes with interference. He was found to have a radio in his car (maybe it was hooked up to the car antenna??) and a whole box of crystals. Several planes went down unexplained, until the frequency guy at the contest was able to use some equipment to track the interfering signals. 
    
  I never heard what happened to that guy. Anyone else know???

  What a shame….I heard the same kind of story floating around pattern circles years ago….seems in this story a guy was actually shooting down pattern airplanes during a contest and the locals found him and made appropriate adjustments.  (OK, so I enjoyed some of the Death Wish movies….. there goes my liberal statusJLOL)
