If you live in Long Beach Ca....

Where do you practice flying your spark? Is Heartwell Park a viable option?

I practice in a school or park. Either would be fine. Just make sure you follow the FAA rules.

Ok, I’ll try the park this weekend. Do you know if you need some kind of membership to fly at El Dorado Park?

No sure. You can always go to their website and see if it says anything about flying there. Or call the park itself. Do you register it yet. You should check dji app for fly zones. Enter your zip and it will tell you. My guess you might be iffy over there because it’s so close to Long Beach airport

Yes I registered with the FAA already. El Dorado Park has a model aircraft field with landing strip as well. One of my friends said you have to be a member to fly there. I’m just not sure what that entails. DJI geo zones has it in enhanced warning zone.

You most likely need to be a member of the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA), which is the leading model airplane group in the US. They have a lot of model airfields around the country, and offer insurance with your membership!

Check out Academy of Model Aeronautics for membership info.
