It's great to own your own pond to R/C boat in, I'm just getting back into boating, and plan on just boating in my pond, unforulty there are people that jump my fence to fish out of it, but I have never put up no trespasing signs, so those will be the first thing to put up, the first person to jump the fence then will have a nice talk with the local police.
The R/c Plane club I'm in had a simular problem at a air field we had leased for over 6 years, a person moved into a house 2 years ago and said that we where making too much nosie, she even called the police and one of the clubs members got a ticket for "nosie polution", the local Judge came to the field and watch us fly, the house where the woman lives is over 1/4 mile from the center of the runway"per GPS", and the judge went to the womans house and couldnt hear the planes running, on see them, so in a court of law we had proven there was no "nosie" problem, did this stop the woman ????, no she then started calling the county commisner that is part of a board that runs the land, and complaning to him, she called everyday, till he finally threw his hand up and refused to renew our lease, I called him sence im one of the few that live in the city and county that the land is in, and asked him if he was going to stop me from useing the land sence im a tax paying citizen, he said "As long as there is no nosie problem, I dont have a problem with you or anyone eles useing the land".
well as a club we cant use the land, but as plain people we can, so every now and then I fly there just to fly because it's only 3 miles from my house, course our new field is only 5 miles from my house, but it sure is funny wo watch her and her husband to come out there and threaten to call the police to have use removed, one the only one time she did call the police, they wrote her a ticket for harrasment and told her to stay away from us when we are flying.
also on a side note, some of the club members where on a local talk show, and she and her husband called in, and on radio she said "We have offered to pay 750.00 a year to have the club thrown out", two weeks later they refuse to renew, but we have on tape her saying this, I myself have wrote to our new Govener a letter and called, only to get a flunky, and explaned what has happen and what was said, dont know whats happing now, but we have a new and better field to fly from.
and on another side note, we found out later that the woman is losing her sight.
I know this post dont help anyone but just thought y'all might want to read it.
thank you
Robert Williams
