Same thing in Springfield, Oregon.  Some guys years and years ago, flew a plane into a house.  That was the end of that...

  It's probably not legal. Charlotte, NC has a city ordinance against model flying inside the city limits. Of course this was probably passed before mufflers and electrics came into use but as far as I know it's still on the books.

    Hi everyone, 

    Does anybody know any legal regulation re: flying an electric formy at the park?

    This is what happened at 7 pm eastern time tonight.  I built a Formosa electric formy, so I can fly it at a city park near where I live ( Rochester, Michigan).  This is my 3rd fly (2 previous flies during early morning at the weekend and no body was there), but this is the1st time I brought my 4-year-old daughter with me.   She was very anxious to watch daddy fly.   Right before I took off, a park worker rushed over and stopped me. She told me no model airplane is allowed to fly in the park.  I requested to see a written document, and she showed me an old park flier with some regulations.   I went to see her boss and he told me the same story.  I showed them how safe  the formy plane was plus my AMA card and a local club pilot license.  He insisted that it is the city law and anything flies with RC is not allowed.   So, we left and my daughter cried all the way home.

    I'd really appreciate if anyone can tell me if it's illegal to fly a foamy at parks.

    Thanks for your time, sugegstions and comments..

    Mike Shih
