Dear Michael,
I enjoy the podcast. I have a question for you since you mentioned in the latest safety podcast that you fly in a mixed use type of park.

Thanks for your support. The city has made available a few parks set aside for the purpose of Electric RC Flight. The Fixed wing Requirements are as follows:
Remotely controlled aircraft means an unmanned aircraft capable of sustained flight in the atmosphere; and operated within visual line of sight of the person operating the aircraft; and operated for hobby or recreational purposes; and limited to not more than 55 pounds; and operated consistent with the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) Safety Code and the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (P.L. 112-95, Section 336).
Electric powered radio controlled model airplanes with a wingspan of less than 80 inches or weight of three pounds.
They don’t really mention a speed but the park we fly in is a 400ft x 400ft area and anything faster than 60mph seems to eat up a lot of real estate.
Hope this helps with your question.
Thank you for the great information.
