TWIMC I am not sure that we can do (politics) that! Model Rocket jocks already need FAA, etc permission to schedule a meet. Fun flying (legal) doesn't exist for them. And most rocket sites are not close to where a lot of rocket jocks live. I am not sure why anyone would think that glider flying in a few special sites is not going to happen to us?????SOONER THAN LATER!
We fly too high. We are the RC group that will get hit first.(sorry) I cannot fly at two local power fields who would love to have scale glider pilots. They have a "field use" provision that states no flights above 500 feet, nothing really to do with AMA. Power guys do spike above 500 - but we play for hours up there. This was also true of 2 NJ power fields near Princeton when I lived there. Maybe we should not bash AMA - but we need to get their attention. But probably unlike, some of our favorite bashees, they may just lurk, take detailed notes, but not respond on line. At a local meeting/reception with Maynard Hill --- a modeler (in hind sight I think he was) asked Maynard how they (the team) got permission to exceed the AMA altitude restriction. I am not sure anyone got a clear answer - something about exceptions. just a few thoughts.. Jim On Thu, 21 Oct 2004 09:56:34 +0000, "Albert E. Wedworth" wrote: > Right On Crag!
