Hi,
I am planning a visit to the Santa Barbara area this summer and would like to know where I might be able to fly? How is the area for Eflight?

Thanks

OK, if there are no places to fly , how about good Hobby Shops in the area?

Thanks in advance...

Hey Bengtson,
I live in SB, We fly at Girsch Park, no problems but it's all about respect, Sundays @11am
at the baseball field, weekdays at the soccer field. Ehlings Park off Las Positas Rd. allows flying as well, some local schools after hours.

Damn it. Don't bring up the most beautiful city in the world! Makes me want to be there.

I hope to attend UCSB next year, though. Getting in is tough I hear.

PS, no help on where to fly.

After six years he probably isn't paying much attention. Good info, though!

sundays at 11 at girsch?! ive been driving all the way to los olivos lol.

http://www.sbrcm.org/ there is a field about 20mins away from sb also for bigger gassers, i definitely will head out to girsch though, although i have doubts of my taylorcraft staying in the field lol.

Hey guy's,
One big item No Gassers at Girsch!!!!!! My friend has no problem w/his Taylorcraft450 there.

In Carpinteria, we fly Sundays at the Viola Fields park, next to the nature preserve on the Bluffs. PM me if you're interested. Electric only. Heli's welcome.

have you guys been changing the date/time because of the heat? didnt see anyone there today. but did see a t28 flying yesterday night.

Hey Unsped,
You know how things are w/rc it's hit and miss, it's still a good flying site though!

ya i here you was just curious is there were different summer hours

i should have a couple planes going by next weekend so ill see if i can avoid crashing into costco lol.

OK. I am new to RC (6 channel) DP helicopter flying (although I have flown R-22's before) and am looking for a field where I could get some advice/instruction on how to do it. Live in Buellton. Where exactly is Girsch Park?

Do you think it would be likely that I would find some heli pilots there on Sundays?

I probably can't make it THIS Sunday due to a prior commitment but would certainly like to meet up with some local heli flyers.

Paul, I'm not very current on who flies helicopters locally, but you might check the local club, www.sbrcm.org
The last I knew, there was a fellow named Peter Chen, who flies helis. Good luck.

Roger, wilco. Thanks, Roger.

Would still like to get in touch with Peter Chen, or another RC heli flyer from the Santa Barbara Club, to get some hints on how to set up and fly my RC heli.

I am having some issues in re getting the gyro/receiver to control the tail rotor position.
