Well our airport has finally finished its runway upgrade and so has opened up again. This means the makeshift airstrip they made is now free for me to fly my plane from. I have also met two other rc flyers that are excited about a flying area so close to town and want to try and setup a club.
Just to be sure though I phoned the airport and asked them if they knew what the regulations actually were regarding me flying an r/c plane on the temporary strip, but they weren't actually sure. In fact he said that he had never been asked before (Remember I live in a small country town and we have no club etc).
The only thing he said was that as long as our planes fly below 500ft it should be okay. He also said to contact the tower each time we go flying so they can alert any small planes and in particular some helicopters that sometimes come in over our area, as they call up for their approach. He also went on to thank me for taking the time to call him.

The question I have though is just how high do our planes fly. When he asked me I was stumped as I had never even thought about it before. I figure that we wouldnt fly no where near as high as 500ft but just how high do we actually fly?

Troy.
