some of you might think the ban is on just R/C well it's not. it also includes all hang gliders and para gliders. it is not something that we like to obey but it is a small price to pay by staying grounded when asked to. if we refuse to do this our goverment could be a real pain by making new regulations that could take away our r/c enjoyment. we don't want that. our club flying field is behind the speed skating oval and our club has been allowed by salt lake county to use this facilty at no cost to our club. so the ban on flying might be hard to take right now. but to get another field with mowed grass for free is hard to find. sometimes you have to give and it's one of those times.
