Just read an article in the L.A. Times. Evidently, they are planning a Cochella type music festival in the basin. The estimate is 250,000 people over 3-4 days. Exactly how will they get that many...

RE: Sepulveda Basin

RE: Sepulveda Basin

It is with great sadness that I must inform you all of the sudden and untimely passing of Dave Rink (Taildraggerdave). Dave was a dedicated RC fixed wing and helicopter pilot who loved the basin and...

RE: Sepulveda Basin

Well, as the saying goes, "I didn't know what heartburn was until I left home and the fire went out". What you describe is pretty much any day at the basin.

RE: Sepulveda Basin

Phew, I am relieved. If a bad guy with an rc plane had access to the basin, no telling what he could do. Lucky he can't possibly take off an rc plane from any street, public park or parking lot in...

RE: Sepulveda Basin

The club should make a campaign contribution to the city councilman whose district the basin is in. Evidently, that is how things get accomplished in government today.

RE: Sepulveda Basin

I agree with the last 2 posts. I think you guys are right on the mark. Obviously, the author of the op-ed piece knows absolutely nothing about the rc hobby and wrote an article that was biased.

RE: Sepulveda Basin

RE: Sepulveda Basin

RE: Sepulveda Basin

Here is an op-ed piece in which the author advocates that we have licenses to fly our rc aircraft. Hmmm, I would prefer we first start with driver's licenses for all drivers, enforcing no cell phones...

The way I heard it was when the Mayans carved out the dates on the stone tablet, they got to 2012 and just ran out of space.

RE: Sepulveda Basin
