Yeap. the challenge is to find places to flight! Why were you kick out? Parks here at Weston say "No RC models allowed." And they consider our Phantom and RC model.
Garpt, is this group a RC models group? There is a huge one in Markham Park, or is this a Phantom pilots group?
Yes, Vista View and Markham have RC model specific locations. However, I think they have not understood that our phantom is not an RC model. I went to Vista View park, and in order to use their location, I had to get AMA license and Vista Park permit, total of $80. The location is great to practice and test the features of our phantom, but there is no excitement about video filming.
Well, what I mean is that we should have less requirements when using a facility occasionally. I don’t have a RC plane nor an advanced RC helicopter, what I have is a Phantom 2 Vision plus ( a small quadcopter wth camera) which is very simple to pilot but I need an open space to test it and practice with it. I think this hobby is a recent new trend and it is not yet categorized in the current guidelines. I contacted the guys at Vista Park, and they told me to get all the permits. I did it and enjoy the park, but I am wondering if the rules should be the same for a complex RC plane and a simple to fly quadcopter. So, I need a AMA membership and the Vista View Flyers membership just to fly there a couple of times per month.
I am wondering if you have you found places to fly around Davie-Weston-Pembroke Pines?
I am doing most of my flying around the beach and intracoastal in Dania and Hollywood.
