Sorry to hear that.
Why sorry? I have met lots of people who have no interest in neither
helicopters nor metalworking, but I have never felt sorry in any way
about that. They have their interests, and I have mine. That's just
the way it should be.


And if those same people stated that Lathes are so dangerous that they
should suck in their operators....you would be fine with that.?


I know you love to play the troll, and you see guns and can't get past
that, but the guy is saying that the RC helicopter is not a reliable or
stable enough platform to make him comfortable placing a firearm upon
it. Unless you spend serious bucks, this same prohibition applies to RC
and pyrotechnics. It isn't the gun that is dangerous, it is placing the
gun on a platform that has potential for random operations, including
random firing.


Oh..then this would be like handing a firearm to a drunken/doped up
Leftwinger?


Sure, but the best and safest thing to do is to give them S&W 180s!
