Our local RC club is in a heated argument over Park Flyers and Electric flight. The problem is that the glow engine guys don't understand the attraction of electric aircraft, and the desire to fly them in the big empty field and not at the RC field. The local club has a very nice site at the local airport, and its just a couple of miles outside of town. However, as all of you know, the convience of just driving across town to the big empty field is great. There are several people doing this, and they're only flying small electric planes like foamies and GWS planes. The complaint of the Electric Guys is that the "Big" RC field is just too inconvient, and that they feel unwelcome - that they are just "in the way".

What are other clubs doing in this situation. It's about to cause a split in our club, which would cause the Electric flyers to form there own club. The local RC club has made the comment about the AMA insurance that needs to be applied to the "Big Field" where the electric flyers fly to cover the city against liability, but just how much risk is actually there, especially since these are slow flyers, and most of the flyers are AMA members.

Any opinions would be appreciated!
