Safety Comes First - 2012/03
I was told this column would appear
in the first newly revamped issue of
MA—completely redesigned and
everything. I am still allowed to type the
column while wearing my lucky T-shirt
with the stains, but I am now required
to wear a necktie as well.

A couple of Dave’s pet peeves
Dave finds cool gadgets at the Toledo Show - 2012/08
There is always something new in our hobby—a trend or
tool or some cool technological development—to keep
us interested. The Toledo Weak Signals RC Expo is a
great place to see the latest inventions, especially all the new
safety-related products that could justify my trip to the show
(and all the money I spent there).

THERE IS GOOD news at last for
those of us who don’t have a spacious
flying field nearby.
Safety Comes First - 2005/04
THE TIME HAS come to address the
dangers of indoor RC blimps. We must begin
to put pressure on the operators of these
models, given the gravity of the situation.
Lighter-Than-Air (LTA) fliers make inflated
claims of harmlessness of their craft, but I
refuse to make light of the helium issue and
allow them to simply float through life.
This is a weighty matter, and the LTA
crowd’s arguments won’t hold air. There
have been bloated reports of trouble, and I’m
not just Macon this up. I am reminded that
blimps are Akron-ic problem here in Los
Angeles every time I Z-1.
