AMA calls for ‘Park Flyer’ sites for RC planes
Park Flyers are small radio controlled planes that weigh less than two pounds and are capable of over 60mph. They’re small, quiet and light and represent a change in the direction of radio controlled planes.
The planes are generally powered by electric or rubber, or some other silent propulsion method.
The AMA is currently looking to get Park Flyer sites setup throughout the US, which can be either indoor or outdoor sites. When deciding on a Park Flyer site members need to determine if the site is safe to fly the plane.
According to the Academy of Model Aeronautics:
Relevant Products:As an aid in reaching this goal, we’ve developed a special ‘How to Start a Park Flying Site’ turnkey package so members who are trying to secure a field won’t have to start from scratch when they approach landowners or officials responsible for regulation of public facilities. The package includes a DVD to show landowners and park officials what park flying is all about––and how different it is from the engine-powered, radio-control flying with which they may already be familiar. There are tips on how to approach officials and landowners, plus instructions on how to set up a field. It even includes a guide for how to quickly and efficiently organize a club, its bylaws, and field rules. And best of all, members will be able to inform landowners and officials that they’d be covered by AMA site liability coverage in the amount of $2.5 million, which should serve as a great incentive. The goal is to make it easier for official AMA recognized flying sites to be developed quickly and in great numbers.
