Ok bud, you called me out. Mean Monte you and I have been friends many years and you know I love ya and I'd do anything for you but I take exception to this particular part of your post. First off, how are park flyers supposed to exist if they can only fly at "dedicated" flying sites? Very few parks have dedicated flying sites. Under your stated contention the park flyers would be in the toilet. I wouldn't want that and I doubt you would either.

Remember, even in this late date, park flyers are second class within the sanctity of the good ole AMA. To mandate designated flying sites would be the same as stomping on the guy’s Slow Stick.

Secondly who is supposed to decide/take responsibility what is an appropriate flying site size or what the separation should be for such activities? You? Me? The other guy? Consider, most fields are only separated from the “looming disaster” you refer to by only a few seconds of travel by a model...our site is no different. Heck you probably remember the Metro field on interstate 20/80. They flew right beside one the on of the busiest highways just about forever until housing development encroached. Even though a particular site is defined, disaster is only just beyond the tree line and those beyond the tree line have not been advised...We can't keep fooling ourselves...park flyers have as much right to fly in the park as a 100# lady does walking her Doberman.

Look, the bottom line is that each and everyone one of us should be held accountable for our actions or lack of action...at some point we need to stop this facade of making others responsible for us. If you can fly whatever, wherever, safely, go right ahead...if you can't... don't…simple…
