I heartily agree; it's just that Ironnerd is trying to secure one or more local flying fields, because others are at least an hour away from him. (How galling it is to have a big beautiful field nearby, but be unable to use it because some ignoramus--or a quorum of them--decided that model rockets are "dangerous.") Since city and county residents pay for municipal and county parks (with no option to *not* pay if they don't or can't use them), they should be able to use their parks for rocket flying as well as for other activities, as long as they're safe (which our hobby definitely is). His is a "fight" that is well worth engaging in. |
