Got a question for Tampa residents
It's embarrasing, I know, but I can't think of a single place I can fly an electric except for an AMA field, which is what I want to avoid.
I live in north Tampa, backed up to a crowded golf course (maniacs are playing with marine spotlights at night, so that's a no-go)
I figured it would be easier to find a flyable field, but I haven't found a spot yet where the cops don't harass you.
It seems ironic that these electrics are called park flyers, but the parks won't allow them (I'm 2 miles from Lake Park).
Yes, this is a pathetic cry for help, but I've had my plane for 2 weeks now and can't use it it seems. Searching the Internet was totally useless, so I thought I'd ask here.

what plane do you have? most parkflyers can be flown at a base diamond or 2. if its something faster like a projeti or hawk then you'll need to find a little more room if your new to the hobby. I have no problems keeping my projeti in a single base ball field or football field.
let us know what plane your talking about.

I fly my park flyer in the community soccer fields. I have not had a problem yet.
Are you in Northdale? Try the Little League fields.

Yep, I'm in Northdale. What's usually a good time to try the soccer fields? It's been packed the last 2 weekends.
Oh ,and it's an Aerobird, but I've already got plans to get a 4-channel once I find a place to fly it.

I just check the fields by my house out on my way home from work. If they are empty I stop. Usually before 5:30pm. I live on the other side of town from you.
