QUOD EST DEMONSTRANDUM - Q . E. D .

I found this posting elsewhere. It proves that I am not THE ONLY ONE.

I am going to sell my gas stuff and go electric. a couple different reasons. i think electric is easier without the fuel and the things that go along with fuel. but the main reason is the time and places to fly. i have belonged to a club locally. it is 30 min away from my house and it costs 75.00 to renew each year. i just dont have the time to get to the club with the kids and other commitments( a new baby this year too). it takes about 4 hours to go and get in maybe 5-6 flights. and that is if i dont stop and chat with the gang. its hard to not chat. and i can get to the field only 2 times a month. if i go electric i can drive to the park 5 min away and just fly. or maybe just throw the plane out the front door and fly for an hour a few times a week.

so here is my actual question. how big of a planes or how fast is too much for a "park flyer". i was looking at the 40" sportster they have at tower hobbies. i like the look of the balsa and covering. i also like that "clever boy" that is on this sites classified section. are those types of planes too much for parks in your opinion. i am also looking at not renewing my AMA membership if i dont join the local flying club. i just want to go and fly someplace quick and easy. thanks.
