Hey all,
not quite positive if this is quite the right place to put this, but its relevant to everyone and their local parks. Ive noticed recently atleast that public parks are becoming more strict on rc models in a park? Ive been flying a miniquad in an *almost empty park* and no one complained, and the rangers kicked me out. I complied, as i always do, but really? I live in the Bellevue region of washington state, if any of you fliers live around here, Im looking for more flying buddies! But the Bellevue parks system, according to their exact regulations, you cant fly or drive ANY remote control device in ANY park. everything from an airhogs 50g tiny plane to a little brushless rc car. they will KICK YOU OUT. i mean jeez, you can be safe, its so annoying. There is next to no where for me to fly without worrying that someone will call the police on me, it even happened to me and a friend, *at the actual rc flying field*...... WHO? WHY? my local actual flying field in the summer is overrun by the "biggest soccer complex west of the mountains", so those children sleep at the field and play 24/7, Im left with no where to go. Id almost consider finding a business that owns a nice plot of land, and setting up some sort of deal with them, like a "i dont break anything and dont interfere, you guys let me fly here when i please" kind of deal.
Kind of rant-ish of me, but more onto local solutions. Especially for those like myself who live close to cities, and around a sizable number of airports. What do you guys do? Where do you guys go? Ive found some schools are good places in the summer, cus no ones there, and again as long as you dont break stuff, youre good haha. But other places??
If anyone is local and is up for a fly, that would be rad.
