[NSRCA-discussion] Legal regulations

[Pat Hewitt]

This is quite simple if your city government does not want you in their park
than so be it. I live in a small town in Kansas and we have a city law no
skate boarders or joggers in the Parks but I can fly my foamy.

fly at the park !

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..
