Something for the original poster to consider about flying a glow ship in a park and especially a park where there is not a protocol set up for flying any kind of aircraft.

It was I beleve just one year ago perhaps six months more than that somewhere in the south east (I don,t recall) some fellows were flying a variety of aircraft in a park that had not permitted protocol for flying. One of the aircraft was a helicopter, it was seen to be flying over a pedestrian trail, control was lost and a young girl was struck causing severe lacerations about the head and chest. She will no doubt be carrying the consequences of this the rest of her life. The errant flyers split the scene but were later tracked down by police as there were plenty of witness and even vidio.

Right here in Arizona maybe ten years ago one of the flying fields I have frequented in the past a gentleman and newer flyer managed to center punch himself in the chest with a forty sized glow trainer and die.

These are the reasons some of the fellows are being a little insistant about the flying of a glow airplane with in any public park where the protocol for doing so has not be set up.
