Charlie Vetner is great, has a couple wide open fields. No good landing spots for fixed wing tho, just chunky grass. It has a field marked for gliders, and if you fly while the Glider club is there on sunday mornings and your not flying a glider, they will try and run you off or make you go to another field, which is annoying. I ignore them at this point tho. Its a fairly quiet park so no worries about crashing into people. I wish The Parklands would let us fly there but they have park rangers that run you off. Since its a company based park their rule is no drones, which includes my lightweight foam planes... but they have so many awesome fields and LOTS of runway areas. Ive been trying to talk them into adding a flying field but i never get responses when i email them. Which is sad...
Anyway, i wont be able to help you much with drones and what not, but if you ever want to get into fixed wing, primarily FT kit/scratch building, let me know if you need help. Ive got an addiction and have like 7+ flyable models atm with more coming. lol
