I read this thread and this sucks, around where i live there is six flying fields all setup on county preserve property within fifteen miles of my house. doesn't other counties in other states setup flying fields for rc. the flying field i fly at is about 1/4 mile of a high end housing area, they can see the planes but a i'm sure they don't hear them because one of them came by and said they lived there for a year before they knew there was a flying field there also he flys rc planes. i would check with county forest preserves and see about setting one up, mine charges 35$ a year permit which isn't bad they even mow and roll the field and collect the garbage.
