I'm just curious... exactly how many r/c aircraft fliers and model rocket enthusiasts check NOTAMs?

The ones that just had their expensive toy brought down by an F-16.

Hah. I could just imagine a sidewinder taking out a model rocket followed by a Martin-type scenario in the middle of a field... Though I do wonder, would the missile even see the heat signature of a model rocket, or is it too small for their sensors?

Actually a few that fly under Far part 101 may, but most probably would not.

I don't recall the AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics; www.modelaircraft.org ) even mentioning that one should check for NOTAMs.
