I guess I should check to see if there's a similar bylaw in Chestermere.
But yeah I guess I could see why.. I don't really want to join an association just so I can go crash my kid's $30 remote control airplane a bunch of times. Man you can't do anything nowadays.
EDIT: Do you have to schedule to go out to that field, or can you just go? It's close to me. |
The field is on city property, and access after hours is restricted via the gate that closes the entrance to the dump - but we have a keypad code for the gate that allows us to access our field any time we want. When the dump is open, you can drive right up. You do need to be a member to fly there though, and all members must also be members of MAAC (Model Aircraft Association of Canada)
Most weekends there will be 10-20 guys out at any given time. Lots and lots of helicopters this year, as a helicopter club joined CRAMS to use our field.
The nice thing about belonging to the club, besides the camaraderie, is you have a nice field with two runways, a clubhouse, windsock, and no houses nearby to crash into. Free instruction for beginners too, from some really great pilots/people. You are also insured for a large amount of money under the MAAC organization.
