[NSRCA-discussion] RC Pilot killed

[mike mueller]

Sad but inevitable. I don't know what can be done and I'm not trying to slam Heli pilots. They just scare the heck out of me when I see the close in low level stunts being pulled.
 Their dangerous. 
 I wonder at some point if the AMA is going to have to stop insuring it.
 I've heard the majority of claims are Heli related.
 What is the actual speed of a 60" rotor running at 2000 RPM?
 Pretty lethal right?

The cause was flying too damn close.
