Agreed. At least he didn’t cite me. I’ve read that GGNRA citations start at $250. :( Anyway, nice work and thanks for the inspiration.

Polo fields. Guy came screaming over at me and I asked why he was yelling at me when GGP wasn’t in GGNRA and therefore flight was legal. Recreation and Parks code 3.09—no takeoffs and landings inside park boundaries. I looked it up to call ******** on him and got this: SEC. 3.09. AIRPLANES...

I agree. I only found out about the city ordinance because a ranger came over to chew me out.

I’m a SF local and I keep whining that there’s no place legal to fly here. Thanks for slapping me upside the head to get me out of my funk. By the way, should you come back. GG Park is not part of GG NRA, but sadly takeoffs and landings inside all city parks are prohibited. Sigh.

Same thing just happened to me, ranger cited 3.09, was unaware of it. :-( got a warning.

Well done!

Just to add more tindr to the fire...I'm just going to offer an observation: Ever wonder why group "x" seems underrepresented in that hobby/sport/community you love? Or wonder why they create an "x-only" version of the same community elsewhere? It's often because of discussions like this. Yes...

Good review, but please use a tripod for your camera. Watching the video made me nauseous.

IAMA seasoned traveler who has taken lots of gear around the world professionally and for recreation. This is VERY typical in any country with high import duties on certain product. We Americans typically think of travel to Western Europe but you'll see this throughout the former Soviet bloc...
