WOW!

So professional. A heli is not launched you moron; in law a word makes all the difference.

I asked you a legitimate question and this is how you respond? Based on your attitude what a great place wimac must be.

The fact is, my island is not part of Montreal, but logistics are clearly lost on you. I haven't consulted my law team in atleast a year, so either defend your claim that its illegal or STFU and admit that your just fear mongering people into membership.

Other option: put on some big boy pants and use your words. Let me help you get started.

Law
BYlaw

Notice how they are two separate words? I'd explain the difference to you if I had any confidence it wouldn't be time wasted.

[chrispol]

All I can say is omg, you admit that you argued with the city about a bylaw which means it is illegal to use ANY RC vehicle in parks, yet you still believe you are in the right ..........

Wow must be special to be you........

Plus you noted the interim laws which actually do make these acts illegal

End of troll feeding

A bylaw is still a law and it can be enforced, just the fact that you would fly a 550 sized heli in a public park shows your intelligence.

Municipal by-laws. ... The main difference between a by-law and a law passed by a national/federal or regional/state body is that a bylaw is made by a non-sovereign body, which derives its authority from another governing body, and can only be made on a limited range of matters.

[scream]

Chris, did you miss the part where they told me it was no problem?

Or the part where I do 20+ g550 flights a week in front of their building since late April?

You still haven't added one piece of useful information to this conversation. IF you are trying to be useful then answer the question. You've written a lot of juvenile rubbish but the only troll in this thread is you!

The documents attached in this thread do no pertain to helicopters. IF there are any others, then enlighten us with your wisdom.

Mods will mod when the mood gets mad.

Take a breath, guys. Please.

ScreaM,
Sorry to say, but in fact you are wrong. Any RC model (even a DLG glider or a RC car) is a motorized scale model.
Please don't mislead the people, who are going to enter the hobby.
You ScreaM (by the way, why you hide your real name?) was just lucky enough to meet kind good cops that day. But with this new law they have all the right to become bad cops.

When you fly your model illegally in a public place (park, square, parking, etc.) you risk:

1. Loose you aircraft model and radio arrested;
2. Pay up to $3000 CAD federal fine + fine for violating local bylaw;
3. Pay much more for a lawyer and spend a lot of time in the court;
4. Get a criminal record that will greatly affect your ability to find a good job, get credit, travel abroad (especially to the U.S.);
5. No insurance will cover your risks, as no company insure you against a criminal act performed by purpose;
6. Be permanently banned from MAAC and from ability to fly anything more than a paper plane in your cell.

This is up to you, how you manage your risks. I can accept the risk of spinning blades somewhere in the sky near me, but I can't accept a risk of being banned from the sky alive because of my own stupidity.

-------------------------------------

There is also a problem of very poorly written laws. For example:

Ottawa, ON park bylaw:

5. SPORTS AND ACTIVITIES
10) No person shall operate a motor driven model airplane, helicopter, rocket or boat except in an area designated by the Director for that purpose.

Montreal, QC park bylaw:

CHAPTER V USER BEHAVIOR AND ACTIVITIES
38. No person may operate motorized scale models or model rockets.

Do you see the difference, guys?! In fact even MAAC sanctioned events are forbidden in Montreal public parks. The park director who sanction such event can be easily sued for an excess of authority. And I'm going to ask this question from our zone director, as there are going to be a Canada Day Celebration with MAAC model exhibition and flights on July 1, 2017 in the Cote St Luc park (almost in the middle of the city of Montreal inside of a 9 km security zone of the Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport). Did they inform Transport Canada about this activity? Did they update NAV tables for a real aviation? Did they receive a confirmation and written permission for such activity both from Canada and local authorities?
