new VA spot in the works (Take-2)

I Finally caught up with some one from range control today & got the contact info to start the permit process. The local RC Pilots use the same area so there is a president for civilian use of the fields.
Grass may get tall but should be ok with skinny tires.

More info to fallow

:bigok: Awesome :bigok: and within driving distance. Thank you!

How good are airports and landing fields for use? I was reading something about it the other day and pretty much it said should only be used by pros due to the probability of injury. Reason I ask is I might be able to get access to 2 major landing fields my base has. There are plenty of days they aren't training.

This one for instance is right on the inter-coastal waterway and should get really good wind.

don't get to excited yet so far after 3 different "call this person hear" calls I got a they will call you.
I hate red tape:(

silvereaglekiter - 14-6-2011 at 02:57 PM

Good news - she called me back
I may be in over my head with the formal /gov,legalyes writing required for the process.
I must submit an official request letter to the powers that be at Fort Lee.
My contact at the base sent me a copy of the letter the RC club uses.
It contains all the catch words popular now a days " insurance, liability, ext ".

Wish you the best of luck getting this new spot secured!

Nick,

awesome Nick! we need to talk to the NAPKA peeps and see how to go about this proper. It could become the first East Coast spot sanctioned by NAPKA.... Just a thought, couldn't hurt to ask.

silvereaglekiter - 3-8-2011 at 03:40 AM

Il get the letter to flyguy today

shortlineflyer - 3-8-2011 at 07:57 AM

Would that really be necessary? Would we be able to just use NAPKA?

silvereaglekiter - 3-8-2011 at 10:29 AM
