Default RE: Definition of Park Flyer?

It would be a lot easier to contact park administrators and ask to fly
'Styrofoam planes flying less than 40mph making less than 88db noise'
than convincing them it is a good idea to have
'60mph 2lb carbon fiber silent missiles, or less'
and hope none of them knows about 10k 8x3 APC props making handburger.

Heck, folks dont want to get beaned by a 60mph tenisball, less a steel post propshaft & nut

Maybe we should define ParkFlier as any plane the operator will stop the prop by hand when asked.
60watt 5k 10x8 orange fwippy, no problem
300w 8x3 APC.... uh, how much medical insurance was that again?

Seems we could very easily made the AMA PPP be what already exists as SlowFlyer,
rather than just 60mph electrics to hurt random folks in parks.
