Hey guys, good thing i read this blog.

You should introduce yourselves to the other fliers that fly at kissena, i am one of them.
We usually fly early in the morning before the parks guys come to work, and late in the afternoon when no one is around.

We are trying to keep them from kicking us out and we are trying to form an organized club in queens for park flyers only.
This way they will leave us alone and designate a soccer field or baseball area. Since alot of people can't make it to places like floyd bennit field or longisland,
we are going to form a park pilot club program from the ama. So we need as many people to get together to make this happen. And yeah its less expensive than your standard ama.

Please do not fly in the area of the houses at kissena, which means no flying over the tree borders "Thats a no fly zone". Keep it inside the field. This not only keeps us from any incidents it also keeps the hobby shop that is near by happy as well.

o by the way always check with the guys who run their r/c cars there, Some of the park flyers that you buy will come on the 26 or 27mhz frequencies. That can cause you a bad day if you fly. And also check with other people that fly there to make sure you are not on their channel.



One last thing, there is a new sign at the flushing meadows park control line circle that says no r/c flying. Please keep out of there "AMA field". They will fine you a ticket now. (at your own risk) I know the president of that club, he is a good buddy of mine, I fly there when he is present, otherwise its off limits when he is not. He knows our situation and is working on helping us out to have a field setup for us.

I know its stupid with all the crap we are put through but we have to play our cards right in order to get a field.


Keep it safe.
