When I was in Cali, me and my dad were frustrated there was nowhere to fly.... We even asked the LHS guys who fly, where to go ? They pointed out good luck, and said there is a big field to use close, but you had to be an AMA member... No thanks... Then they said there were some guys flying off from a dried up river bed... We checked that out, and said oh hek no ! Trees everywhere, a ROUGH take-off and landing tiny strip... Forget that... Then they said guys did fly at this one col-de-sac in a slightly newer development area, with ranchland grazing the outskirts, but then they said everyone got kicked out of there...

BUT........ This is where we ended up flying in most my plane vids as you rememeber. It was no problem... There was a walking trail that continued through this col-de-sac, and so as you might remember there was sometimes "walkers" and such... We would only fly early in the morning and carry on the most utmost respect in utilizing that particular spot. This included my dad driving VERY slow in his Corvette through the neighborhood to get there, picking up trash there as a courtesy call, being friendly to any occasional walkers, etc. etc. and it ended up working out great. Eventually we became acquainted with the ones who lived nearby, and they had no problem with us being there whatsoever.

Common-Sense, and courtesy do go a LONG way in this world for anything period.... I agree 100%....

The guy who flew one in a video on Vimeo from Precision makes any helicopter pilot look sad ! Are the Katana's a good ship as it seems to me ? Or am I being decieved ?! He lands the thing toward the end like a darn heli straight down and after doing some rolls a few feet of the ground.... Crazy.... I'am getting that sucker..... I'll sell one of my cars or something ! Gotta keep the dog though...........
