Bruce we talked about the possibility of running at the float pond,but I never heard back from you.
Are the club members aware or ok with this possibility allowing us as a guest? Or offering membership?
Greg
Yeah, I'm not sure where the communication broke down. Yes, you can come as a guest to check it out. Anyone is welcome to join. It is an AMA club and AMA covers boat operation (and cars, rockets, etc) at any venue as long as owner permission is had; not sure how NAMBA/IMPBA works. (I personally am a NAMBA member). If there is enough interest maybe we can investigate a charter; who knows. The only rule is that float planes take priority. Most are flying electric so they are only up for 5-6 minutes.
Most of the guys flying also have boats so the cooperation works pretty well; there is no reason they cannot co-exist. We all have the same issue acquiring and keeping R/C fields and ponds...we need to work together to make it work permanently. Good communication and respect it are the key points.
That being said, most of the plane guys are gone by late morning. Much like us helicopter guys do at other fields, if you just show up at 10-11 AM you can have the place to yourself until sunset.
