WELCOME TO THE CEF !! You may can check with some of the school yards if any close by , Got a kid that helps LOL Never been to CA haven't lost nothing there so probably want go . WE can help get you up and going since its been awhile Got models ?

Thank you very much for all your reply's. Back in the early 1970,s when I was a kid living in Santa Ana, we kids would fly our Cox PT-19's at a local elementary school without being hassled by the neighbors and the police. There use to be a hobby area at Mile Square park in Fountain Valley, for all powered model airplanes, but not anymore. Man, I just might have to find an industrial area that's safe to fly during the weekends. It's been 50 years or so since I flown U/C.
Thanks again you guys,
Ed

Then post in Open Forum a brief introduction and looking for CL fliers where you are at. There are some from California who post there, and they can direct you to clubs and flying fields.

And yes, I understand the changes in society. Used to be in the 1960's, Biloxi Mississippi and Hawaii, model engine noise was considered as healthy noise. School parks were open. We could even ride our bicycles on the sidewalks just outside the classrooms, use the play sets without parental supervision even as a grade schooler. Run up our engines outside the house.

It was a different world.

Down South, in Pacific Beach (a part of San Diego,) there is supposed to be a dedicated U-Control area not far from the Model Yacht Pond and SEFSD.org.

It is something I need to check into myself again….

Man, I wish I had lived next to the COX facilities in my childhood....at least I visited the old Poinsettia and the later East Warner Avenue locations a few years ago, just to see where all my COX engines were once born..

Thank you all again for your reply's. I lived in Santa Ana until '71, we use to fly our Cox airplanes (PT-19 for some reason they where popular in those days) at the old Lowell elementary school prior to the Sylmar quake condemned the school. When visiting our cousins house on Holiday and St. Andrew street in Santa Ana , we all would take a walk to Cox on Warner Ave., sneak in behind the the factory and go dumpster diving for anything we could find for parts for our hobby needs. Man thoughts were some fond memories.
