RE: Important information????
I am curious here guys I am an avid parkflyer here in Boise ID and we fly at the local high school on weekends and just about everyone that flies ther is on 72 mhz There are only two flying clubs here in the area and they want 300 to 400 dollars a year for dues and all of us feel the same way this is a ridiculious amount of money to pay to be able to fly so we are in the process of setting up a club with permission from 2 schools to fly indoor and outdoor and also will have a flying field established in a area of one of the city parks asked the LHS here about having to do this through ama and were told that ama does not even apply to electric flying
I flew gas for years and sold everything and went to electrics because of the hassles and politics inside of a club what happened to the old days of just being able to go out and fly and have fun to me it seems it has turned into a money issue as an adult I cannot afford the money to stay in a club what about all the kids clubs like the ones here have pretty much eliminated kids from being able to fly we sometimes have 15 to 20 kids at a time flying with us on weekends and it is great it is frustrating to me to see the road this hobby is going down to me not for the better I and the other guys that fly together will continue to do so here the same way we have for the last couple of years
