I like all of you to know that I have been flying since 1978 and during this time there was an accident with radio control model and the Parks Commissioners daughter. The young girl was struck in the head and died.
The park that this did happen was Flushing Meadows.
Since this time we are not allowed to fly in any city parks. We must have AMA cards to fly in any radio control park or field.
I also want to bring to your attention when asked to leave the park from parks or police department you do so with no conflict. Conflict would only have you fined and your model confiscated.
As an AMA member I must ask all of you with our new quite, clean, no mess hobby, we do not fly over any ones head and keep to the rules.
We are getting away with flying our electrics because they are quite and clean. We all practice safe flying we should not have any problems with Law Enforcement agency.
I ask you all be AMA insured and fly by safely. Lets keep the hobby in our own parks.
