i learnt something today about local ordinances in my area. My intention was to have a quick flight at a local oval, something I haven't done before, my preference is to fly at beaches and other areas late or early when few people are around. I had some issues with a new battery yesterday and wanted to fly it again after a second charge to test it.
Seemed like a good spot, not a person in sight. Literally 30s after launch I get some old bird appear from nowhere yelling at me telling me she is calling the police and the rangers. Long story short there is a sign I located (posted below) which serves to notify that model aircraft flight, amongst other things, is an offence under the local government act and penalties may be applied.
Later enquiry revealed that this policy is enforced with respect to all public places in the municipality.
The battery will be going back today. 2 cycles and major cell variations both flights.
