Yes it's too bad, if more guys were into the bigger models there would be a need to make a deal with one of the farm owners for a designated place.

I flew at the Kalum site once but I didn't like that site, approaches were not great, runway was rough, and too much forest & a huge river valley to loose a plane in. Not very relaxing when you have $3-4000 in the air.

Of the 2 main guys that started the Terrace/Kitimat club, one moved & the other got into Guns & shooting, was also moving...but is still here & got re-enthused at the Houston fun fly, so he wants to help me get something going at my Cousins place.

If you come up & can drag some Kitimat guys out to fly that would be good, let me know I'll make the drive if I'm not at work. Otherwise see you down there, I'll be joining the Kelowna & Vernon Clubs, just waiting to sell our house here.

Could be wrong but thought that park flyers were under 2 lbs and are to exhibit slow flight. Saw a fast foamie this spring traveling around 125 plus mph and that was not a park flyer. Weight was around 2.5 lbs or under if I remember correctly.

There is no standard definition for park flyer in Canada. Clubs set their own rules. MAAC says a park flyer "can be any type of model flown in a public park," and the Park Flyer portion of the safety code applies only to small, light-weight and slow-moving aircraft.

AMA says 2 lbs and 60 mph, with electric, rubber or other quiet means of propulsion.

Yes I guess until something serious happens , MAAC may leave that to clubs to set size and weight. I looked at MAAC website and could find nothing.

Ya obviously it's more of a guideline.

The e-flight "rare bear" is small but does around 100mph so not suitible for parks.

My PA KMX is just over 3lbs but can fly very slow & we don't consider it an issue to fly at our club.
