Safety is a concern when it comes to flying a remote control airplane, especially where other members of the public tend to gather. Your local park may seem like the best place to fly your elaborate new toy, but keep in mind that remote control airplanes are large enough to cause serious injury or death if they crash into a person. Check with your local authorities or nearest remote control airplane club to see if there are any no-fly zones in your area. If flying these machines is allowed at your local park, check around to make sure there are no people to close to your fly zone. Accidents do happen and the best way to avoid them is to not fly your remote control airplane in the vicinity of other park users. Open fields away from the public are better options. It is too difficult to try and control a remote control airplane and keep an eye out for curious bystanders at the same time.\r
