Remember that you MUST check local park regulations about flying planes there.

Most city public parks DO NOT permit this activity, or regulate it greatly.

Whenever you fly in a big city park, you draw attention and children. If you ever hit anyone or come close to doing so, you may find yourself the target of a nice heafty lawsuit especially if the park prohibits flying rc planes there, no matter the size of the plane... ( yes even those toy Airhogs... ).


If you are going it alone it is best to do so on private lands, or larger non-city parks that have enough space to permit the activity.

Note however that in our area such parks usually have ties to clubs, and you are required to be a club member before flying there if only for insurance and safety purposes.

Play it safe and check things out first.
