Unfortunately this is is quite typical. You can not beat "city hall" on this matter, and the AMA insurance only covers you if you fly at a n AMA chartered club field.<br><br>I find that school yards can be good places, and neighbors rarely even know a plane is flying. I have yet to be kicked out of a schoolyard for flying an electric plane. Parks and golf courses on the other hand are extremely strict about airplanes, even when they are empty.
<br><br>The difficult thing is finding a school yard that isn't used for soccer/baseball/football practice year-round, but they are out there.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 4/24/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">

<div style="direction: ltr;"><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></div><div style="direction: ltr;"><span class="sg"> <div> </div> <div>Mike Shih</div></span></div><div style="direction: ltr;"><span class="ad">
