I have no idea why some people have to cry and whine about this. It does not effect you nay sayers in any way shape or form other then possibly bring more members into your group that are flying smaller electric or quiet powered models.
I am a PPP member,
it affects me very very directly.
(very)
If folks want to play the "Doesnt Affect Them" card, fine, all youse AMA'ers stay out of us PPP guys discussing PPP.
See, now that doesnt seem right does it: Maybe talking about PPP is something everyone can do, not just the ones in PPP or just the ones out of PPP.
Back to the topic of PF definintion:
Well if the parkflyers want to go and fly larger 6oz FreeFlight Rubber models then they will be required to purchase the full membership. It is their option.
So we get the circle,
a) 'Nobody is stopping the PPP guys from flying anything, they can fly rubber if they want'
b) 'If they want to fly larger they have to pay the full $58'
Lets pick one & stick to it.
Either they have to upgrade to $58 to fly non PF models ( 6oz FF Rubber / 33% gas Yak ) or they dont.
The PPP PF definition is clear that both of those are not PPP approved.
But a 25mph zagi flittering around 20' over peoples heads in an itty-bitty park is A-Ok[sm=thumbs_up.gif], cause someone (other than a couple of 14year olds with bad judgement) decided to put a vid of that on the official PF Manucaturer website.
Hey Jimmy, how much 'park' does this 'ParkFlier' model need?
Well Timmy, maybe we can fly it in this postage stamp park, they do it in the manufacturers video.... just ignore the other people using the park.
Great Jimmy, lets get the bigger one that goes 59, cause we cant go 60 unless we pay $28 LESS FOR $1 YOUTH STANDARD AMA!!!!!
Wow Timmy, thats swell.
Swell indeed Jimmy.
