I haven't seen foam wings collide with aircraft but I've seen them hit
other vehicles and they don't seem to do noticeable damage.
And how many of those vehicles were doing 120kts or more? Because of their
construction
Martin,
I am surprised at your take on Daryl's positing. I can assure you
that a collision between a model and man carrying air vehicle could have dire
consequences for both pilots. RC flying exists only because our
organization has succeeded in convincing the FAA that we are all reasonable

dangers.

You are way out of line here. I know you don't represent the
sentiment and perception of the vast majority of the folks on this

the airspace regs and minimum elevation above ground in congested
areas. Noisy

Daryl,
I totally understand your position and the positions all have taken
with regard to full size aircraft. We all need to be more aware,
and if possible, communicate these items to our club members and on,
eventually getting to pilots out there who are not easily reached
through standard

I sent the remarks out to try and illustrate the over-reaction that we get when
anyone mentions full-sized aircraft. I think I've succeeded. I don't condone
flying models near full size planes or anything similar (road traffic, for
example) and I don't think there's anyone else out

Saying a jet engine doesn't mind ingesting FOD shows a lack of understanding.
FOD the size of a bird or plane usually *does* damage the engine, by breaking
