COVID-19.

Oregon is asking for no gatherings of more than 10 people.

I propose Postal Stunt -- air fly in your living room, and post your score here.
AMA 64232

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

  You may have something there Tim.  Gatherings,  ok I just hadn't thought of that.

I could be behind, but I thought that the mandate limit was 25, with 10 suggested, though that still doesn't solve the problem.  Could Delta Park have closed to activities since though outdoor, most are large gatherings of soccer and softball.  Then they don't have to police it.  Hopefully one of the hosts will post soon.

I'm president of a local RC club and we cancelled our scheduled meeting early in April.   Our MN governor has also declared a State of Emergency.  All the AMA clubs are cancelling meetings/events/gatherings.

Our flying field is open for ad-hoc flying but we stressed members abide by recommended 'social distance' guidelines.   There are typically 4 or 5 members there at any given time and our flight stations are 10' apart.  We also cancelled future food events at the field since everyone would be handling a common container of condiments.

Well, RC you don't need a stooge.   Turf fields here are now finally bare of winter snow but very mushy/soggy.  Supposed to freeze overnight but warmer by Saturday.
