| hmmm - "How the community deals with safety issues."
Apparently by closing threads about it and trying to brush it under the carpet.
Any way you cut it a five year old kid cant fully comprehend the responsibility of flying model helicopters, especially when many other people's safety is in question, and anyone who thinks a five year old can, think back to yourself at five..... exactly
He may be good on the sticks, but IMO thats not the measure of a good pilot, a good pilot is one who is constantly thinking, 'if something goes wrong right now, whats the safest way out of it'
I'm betting that any five year old flying an R/C helicopter is not thinking like this, but thinking 'wow this is so cool' the whole time.
Personally I feel that Justin is being taken advantage of to feed his dads ego, and this was just a matter of time, and I seriously doubt that starting flying at shows was his idea in the first place
To have the stick skills to be flying those manuvoures he must have started at at least 3 yo..... come on, thats just rediculous, letting a 3 yo kid have control of a potentially lethal machine, one word keeps occuring to me - irresponsible (on the part of the parent) |
