I hope they realize this just forces us to fly at parks, empty parking lots with permission and stuff like that. No notice today till i hauled the stuff out of my truck and got the news. Just for information, it was SPARKS field in St. PETS FLORIDA. Been a member and on the board for a few years till my hiatus. Looks like we as quad flyers will have to open our own place.
There seems to be a lot of those that "RUN THE CLUB types that like to ban things they don't do. Ever notice how things change when one of the "IN CROWD" decides they like something.
