the RC was 8 grand as the pilot clearly says that after putting his controller away.
So far from the multiple sites ive read this one, the Pilot wasnt suppose to be flying over the runway. he also wasnt in contact with the ground as the ground crew called him multiple times to go around. The RC pilot was then told to get the RC out of the way because he was still coming in and thats why he starts to fly the plane away before impact.
It was a flyin/RC event. If you look at the airport, there is no place for them to fly from other than the runway (notice how the crowd was right there at the runway and the planes right next to it?
now you mention the plane taxiing at the end. The was the bi-plane that was hit. You hear towards the end a director of the event say he is down safe.
i watched here at work, with the volume off....i'll watch again tonight if i can make the time with volume up
