Default RE: Definition of Park Flyer?

Rat-
but this would be a great place for measurements rather than

1lb, 35mph :Yes or no?
Yes.
Unless its glow, because the cox049's that have been flying in parks for decades are not parkfliers.

Why? Noise?
Then say how quiet is quiet. They actually have the wording 'or any similar quiet means of propulsion'. To a guy that shoots IPSC, anything that doesnt require earmuffs is quiet. The other side of that coin is when my old landlady was giving me a hard time for opening beer cans after midnight... yeah, just the crunch of the poptop was too loud for her. So just what is quiet to the AMA? Opening Beers? I guaranty an AP15 with 10" of hose on the pipe is a lot quieter than a bunch of 10year olds at a birthday party at the park.

The ama does have db standards for regular membership,
we just read about planes gtting disqualified at a contest for being over the db limit,
why does the Quiet Only membership not have it?

And when we do eventually get the db number, then
Quiet is Quiet whether wet or wired.



Getting back to reality:
Keeping the glow out of PPP is not about safety or noise, it is about keeping the most $58 AMA 1lb flyers out.
