Safety at the Patch
If any full size aircraft looks as though it is flying low over the field and it seems that the pilot flying their model is above the full size aircraft, then the model should land as soon as possible. Always be vigilant, listen out, and any spectators there should call out that a full size aircraft is in the immediate area, never, try to manouever away from the full size aircraft. It is advisable to land your model in the appropriate manner.
