<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I believe it is up to the city or local government
to limit or regulate what is done on public/government property and parks.
City and county officials are becoming more aware of the R/C buzz and they
understand what the liabilities are if one was to injure an innocent
bystander. Our club has been approached by one of the local cities to
actually help establish an area where R/C activity could occur. Their
thinking is if a local club could help control frequencies and provide a
safety net with AMA's insurance and guidelines then it would be more
beneficial to them to help organize an area to fly small park and glider type
aircraft then let people fly anywhere they choose. Granted... with the new
spread spectrum technology there wont be as much of a frequency problem but
older radios will still be around for quite some time and the liability issue is
still there.</FONT></DIV>

electric parkflier does not allow tofly at the park !</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Hi everyone, </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Does anybody know any legal regulation re: flying an electric formy
at the park?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'd really appreciate if anyone can tell me if it's illegal to fly a
foamy at parks.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for your time, sugegstions and comments..</DIV>
