| The term "Toys" is relative. The old addage "the only difference between big boys and little boys is the cost of their toys" somewhat applies here. The Corvette example used in this forum is someone's toy, however owning one doesn't give them the right to drive it like a bat out of hell while putting others at risk. Putting themselves at risk is fine, but not others. I know others who have caches of firearms as toys, but they operate them responsibly and don't put others at risk. Remember what we learned at those gun safety courses? The government regulates by age who drives cars and owns guns in an attempt to keep them out of the hands of irresponsible or immature hands. I am not an advocate of the government regulating RC's, but I do believe RC's must be operated by responsible, mature individules. As we all know, age is not synonymous with maturity.
Our helis are a source of personal entertainment. Just don't be entertaining yourself without regard to the safety of others.
