Default RE: Quebec to potientially loose many RC feilds

Here in Oregon there is a state law defining Exclusive Farm Use, (EFU). Some years ago the RC modelers with help of a sympathetic law maker got a section written into that law that provides for a certain size area for flying of models (not including flyover area) be allowed. At present along with our lease for the field we have to pay a fly over fee, (crop damage charge) in order to fly. few cities and or counties have allowed and support RC sites as recreatonal areas on local government land. Enviromentalists do not like the noise and pollution (no matter how small) , so do thier best to not let sites be allowed.
