Default RE: Definition of Park Flyer?

The real problem is the AMA is trying to define park flying...for us as well as others outside of AMA's control. There really is no way to win by this strategy...a better strategy would be to scrap this PPP stuff and educate all of us better ways to get park flying established wherever possible.
Sure it has ... in about 20 other types of context as well, perhaps more.

But what LCS doesn't seem to agree is that the AMA is not trying to educate "us". The AMA has already done that job, otherwise they wouldn't have gotten "us" in the first place.

Great job AMA ... I know what a parkflyer is and I know how to start up a club of any size and dimensions ... great job ... kudos, I get it!

This time the AMA is trying to capture the "them", not the "us" with the PPP. The them are the ones that don't want to be part of a club of noisy planes and expensive clubs. They are a different creature who don't want the complexity or the overkill. They are out there .... and they will then be an "us".
