RE: park flyers against the law in ingham county MI
Facts and perception are usually two different things. Model aircraft are generally perceived as dangerous, disruptive nusiances regardless of how large they are or how they are powered.
Yes, sports like soccer and football are more likely to cause injury, but they're POPULAR. R/C flying is not by comparison. Guess who gets priority say in what the parks are used for? Yep, the screaming soccer moms...
That law is probably the result of someone trying to fly a large glow-powered plane in the park some time ago, and may be ripe for change if you can show the county government that there are enough voters out there that fly small electric airplanes.
