No doubt there will be a multitude of reasons why not.


That would defeat the object of RPS. It's to stop you hitting the ground after you've been out of radio contact for some time.

I expect you'll be telling me next that no one should hit the ground as they should be able to see it and avoid... :mrgreen:


Would I say such a thing? :twisted: :twisted: :D
