[RCSE] Right of way

[Charlie Miller]

The rulebook rule was instituted to provide some orderliness to a potentially chaotic situation.  However, it only holds in sanctioned competition.  Non competition situations must rely on common sense and good judgment   Ok guys.. It seems like my posts are not going through.. This whole thing has gotten out of hand.. Look at the statement above! What happened at the classic was not during competition. This was a practice!!!!! The rule does not apply!!  Common since does apply here.. The glider in question was in the launch area near the turn around.. Not good judgment.. But so where many others. Again. Not good judgment! The pilot winching didn't clear the lines... Not good judgment!! I guess the thing that bothers me is the fact that the pilot winching didn't even have the consideration to at least confront the other pilot to say something! Like sorry about your glider I didn't see you ,, Or anything.!! I know we loose models in this sport. I think it's a decent thing to show the other pilot some respect for the loss. Not , oh well to bad, wasn't my fault!! And avoid it all!! Like I said. Its his karma.. Not mine! Charlie
