Re: RC PLANES NEAR AIRPORTS
A quick search of CASA documents reults in:
Extract from
AC 101-3(0) JULY 2002
UNMANNED AIRCRAFT AND ROCKETS
MODEL AIRCRAFT
8. MODEL AIRCRAFT OPERATING AREAS
8.1 Before flying above 400ft within controlled airspace or within 3 nautical miles of an aerodrome, the operator of a model aircraft must obtain permission from the appropriate air traffic control service or CASA as appropriate.
8.2 Finding Model Flying Sites for Model Aircraft
8.2.1 The operator of a model aircraft weighing over 100 grams is required to obtain permission before flying a model above 400 ft AGL within controlled airspace or within 3 nautical miles of an aerodrome. While this rule means that a model aircraft may be flown above 400 ft AGL clear of these areas, there are advantages in seeking approval for a permanent model aircraft operating area. Publication of the details of a model aircraft operating area means that other users of airspace will be advised where there is potential for conflict with model aircraft.

Re: RC PLANES NEAR AIRPORTS
Actually brings me back to the old'n days (well, a few years ago), where I was flying my RC at Whiteman Park and a low flying twin prop cruised right overhead, all aircraft in the air got the heck out of the way pronto. You don't want to be responsible for even a near hit.

Re: RC PLANES NEAR AIRPORTS
Well if you struck a real aircraft that went into a designated RC field's airspace (under 400 feet) it wouldn't be the RC pilots fault anyway.
Its more if you were in some random paddock or road and you had an accident that you would be in trouble.

Re: RC PLANES NEAR AIRPORTS
This was in Perth
The reason the plane spiraled to the ground is the wake turbulence caused by the plane.
I believe these people got in a lot of trouble after posting the video on you-tube
