What in the Wide Wide World of Sports is a'goin on here?
Definition of a Park Flyer – we should look towards a formula and not a set description.
<snip>
We also need to define accepted power plants for the aircraft. We should state that the models do not utilize any combustion engine of any type, etc
I wholely & adamantly will contest to my dieing breath any "park flyer" program that seeks to exlude the very planes that have been flying in parks and schools for decades, such as the Cox049's. Electrics are welcome to join us cox049 at the park, but dont think that small planes in small spaces is a new idea that is just for electrics. Parkflyers have existed without electrics, join them rather than trying to regulate those planes out of flying where they have been.
from madwebtvscientist :
Past successful efforts to control modeling with "negativism" are not going to be allowed in the future
Maybe we could start by removing the NEGATIVISM cast upon cox049s as not being park fliers,
seeing that they have been just that for decades.
I fly .40 sport arfs.
I fly 1/2A glow models.
I fly PPP legal e-models.
I flew GSW Warbird e-foamies.
Why would I join a PF movement that is trying by the most base charter to exclude Cox049s from the very parks they have been flying at for decades? I am not Anti-Electrics, heck, I build fly small electricss.
Why do folks feel the need to cast negativity & exclusion
at the parkie with the cox049/AP061/Norvel074 flying around?
