Default Model airplanes

Saw this when I was watching that fishing video.. Music selection is kind of weird but how this guy makes this rc plane do what it does is crazy...

Isn't that freggin dangerous to do indoors? I remember a guy who was standing at the beach this summer, playing with one of those. He almost hit a kid twice! And I tell you, he was good at it and not a newbie!

I used to work for Horizon Hobby and they are the largest distributor of aviation model products. We have an item called The Blade that was a small R/C heli. http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...rodId=EFLH1300 Anywho, we would fly those indoors here http://www.uni.uiuc.edu/athletics/venues/armory.php and we never had a problem with hitting each other. Of course, we had airplane models too and never hit each other. I guess what I am trying to say is that if you are flying power models, you HAVE TO stay ahead of the model and there won't be troubles. This stuff is awesome
