I just had this thought how many of you live by an air port and started into this hobby and invested some cash then realize that that you are $##%$#%$ because of the rules and now you have to drive at least 20 to 30 minutes away from your home, to fly for a couple of minutes.
Used to be there were many clubs and sponsored sites within visual range of the runways of LAX, Van Nuys, Burbank, Torrance, Hawthorne, Hughes Field. They got shut down because there's a building there now not because of rules enforcement.
Well when i started i idid not think i was goin to get bitten big time for the hobby. well ever since i have accumulated my stash of battery's
which is scary. i am planning on building a cement board box with sand in it to put all my battery's in it. and on top a smoke alarm. so now i can stay at the field for a couple of hours.
