I have had my eye on some local property that would be a perfect place to fly.. Out away from homes people etc. I live in an area that open fields are plentiful. One would think it easy to ask land owners if you could fly on their land. they say ok until they see your airplane and say sorry NO... because of the "noise" This is all I hear. Granted I fly now at a GREAT location. it is sorta close to home... Great people...maybe I am selfish, ? But I would like my own field. Every time I find a good price or great location there is a road block... I am told they are to noisy to dangerous, there are covenant restrictions as well neighboring farmers hear what I am planning and protest to the county and of coarse the county will support the farmers and so I am set on my way. I could swear the county knows and the local residents new I was coming. What with this attitude? Would the AMA be able to help? I would hate to give up, But unless I move to a "RC friendly" state I think the dream is off. I have never been able to even toss a glider in the air before being sent away... yet I have been called names... my radio interfered with and told I was not welcome to go through with plan in having an RC airfield on the property.
any ideas on how to handle this would be great!
Thanks Happy flying!
