You might run into problems with the Hawk Watchers, though(it;s a long story!) and the waterfowl...
Weren't you paying attention in the FAA Regs threads,
the birds dont get Right of Way under part91 !

HAW!!
I shouldnt have, but I did anyway.
I was guessing there was some No Gas/No Power hooey going on in the park. Thanx for the verification.
Electric boats are fine, just no gas.
The hawks are living atop a building on CPW, there are usually five fans stationed around the boat pond with telescopes, watching the hawks all day. It's a big deal, and beleive me, anything that might in any way disturb the hawks, well...you would lose that argument!
Whatever FAA Part 91 says, beleive you me, these particular hawks have EVERY right of way to do whatever they want, or you will end up villified by Greenpeace and every major newspaper!
Whether or not they are affected by model airplanes, who knows, but certainly it's something to factor in to any model flying...what will the birdwatchers say? By the way, the birdwatching crowd is often very, very, wealthy, and very, very, well connected. Unlike the model airplane crowd!
