I live in Nashville Tn.: where not everyone lives in a log cabin an has a 14 year old wife.
We take electricity for granted.

We also have the Titan Pro football team( everyone has a cross to bear)
It is against the law to fly control line in Davidson County(nash) except at
One park 8-5 Mon. -fri only , No weekends.
The park dept. talked with AMA about building a new site; When asked where they should put control line ,;it is reported ama said to forget about control line
Ama will still be glad to except your donations , not to worry.

What? No comment to Charlies statement that the AMA told the local Parks Board to forget about CL.
It really happened.
And in a room full of witnesses.

In addition to only flying during the week ,you can only fly from 9:30 to 2:30 and have to appear in person at the Parks Board during working hours to obtain a permit with photo at the cost of $20.00.

They really want to make the Park available to the public.

Also they will not allow any type of combat plane or race type to fly ,the Rangers will appear and escort you off of the property.

This is occurring on property that was donated to the city for the specific use of model flying.

Jim Pollock · « **Reply #63 on:** May 26, 2006, 03:57:13 PM »

Marshall,

If it was donated with the specific intent for model flying and the city/county isn't letting that happen, then the donor should take it back and make it a private model flying park!

Jim, The owners who made the donation in the 40s no longer care ,they have put it in the trust of the Parks Dept.
In the mean time R/C is still being flown there, so as far as the Park Dept is concerned they are meeting the requirements of the original donation.

Hi!
I am new to this forum and am a retread that grew up flying 1/2A control line aircraft. Later on I moved on to R/C, but as I have always been fascinated by C/L I have decided to make a new beginning in C/L stunt.

On the building board right now is a SIG Banshee that I found in my cellar.
I thought I had given all C/L stuff away, but I was wrong

Presently I live in Uppsala, Sweden (aerial photo).
