Do we fly far enough away from the jets that fly over us at SC  That really sucks. To top it all off and pee the police and officials even more, they had to put the video on youtube which wont help him at all, but it wont help us at all either  i really hope the authorities don't take SC away from us  |

Hey that's better Chris. I see you put some effort into the spelling this time. Now you can start working on some punctuation and use of capitals etc, and making the sentences more logical and comprehensible.

I'm hopeful that we won't have problems but it's worth remembering that SC is under the 5.5 km restriction from an airport.
I was flying my electric plane at Pelican Park on the weekend and was given a friendly word from a ex-club member of the Kite club. He suggested that I need to watch myself as the Kite club have reported a person flying at pelican park (petrol powered plane). He was going on about that I was flying in the flight path of planes coming into land at Brisbane Airport (which I wasn't). He also suggested that I was under the 5.5km zone. People from the airport corporation (apparently) gave the rc pilot a very strong warning.
I went home and checked on Google Earth, Pelican Park is 15 km from Brisbane Airport & 6.5 km from Redcliffe airport. Out of all the years that I have flown, it's the first time that I have had someone give me negative feedback. He suggested that the club thinks it owns the park and avoid flying there on the weekends that they fly.

Really  So they came up to you and basically told you that you can't fly there on the weekends because the kite club is there |

That is lame, grow some blz and fly a real glider silly kite fiends, na just kidding. But seriously they don't own anything we should all go down there one weekend and fly around the kites I bet they would love that, can you tell that I like to stir people with false authority??? and a comment about the model near the virgin, if the model hit it....it would not be a virgin anymore would it? |

Did my post get deleted? Or did it fail to post? I didn't delete it Callun, I would say that it failed to post. As for the Kite guys, I don't think I'll have a problem. They fly on the third Sunday of the month. Rather than stirring things up I'll just avoid them. I don't won't to attract unwanted attention by going head to head with anyone. I have it pretty good in Redcliffe e.g. Woody Pt, I wouldn't want anything to wreck that. Gerard |
