Yes, there is a large electric flying membership. No turbines mainly due the runway size, I assume.

My understanding is that when the folks were discussing with the farmer the possibility of flying models there, he was concerned about fires being started. A gas engine ban was offered up to ameliorate his concerns.

I like the 2-stroke oil idea. Wonder if any data exists to back it up...

You guys better ban cigarette smoking too, that causes more fires that 2 stroke airplane motors.
