Too many of these crashes! Urgh. I wish that this type of hobby wasn't legal. We live relatively close to a small airport, and I cringe everytime I see these planes flying over our house, just hoping they will be ok. I am sure that it doesn't happen more than it does, but it seems to happen too much all the same. I am so sorry for these families.
