Dogs, and children dont mix very well with rc helis...or planes for that matter.
Personally I dont mind people watching me flying....but with kids? I explain in no uncertain terms...that they need to keep well back.

Agree with Rob (although I can't imagine how many lookeyloos there are on the rock you live on
) It's tough enough with adults, but at least (most of them) have the sense to ask questions like: Am I far enough back? To which my answer was: No. Feel free to watch, but please, from back there.
With an older person, one can show them the scar and they get it. With a 4 year old - don't fly. It's that simple. I couldn't explain to a youngster any more than I can to my cat - this thing can hurt you - badly! (And no! We don't chew on the helicopter.) I have a couple local 8-10 yr olds that want to watch me as well. I don't mind, but from over there please - bearing in mind wind direction, attention span, etc. Don't wanna sound preachy, but it's your responsibility not to hurt them, not their fault if they get hurt...
