Where is a good place to fly and Parkzone Habu? Anywhere in Folsom.

For something like that.. Probably the field off blue ravine by the new Raley's. Out by Folsom lake would be a good spot too, but the parks charge admission. You might be able to fly it at some of the smaller parks if you're able to keep control of it.

Yes, I agree. An EDF jet needs space to stretch its legs and they can be fairly loud as well, which makes them a poor choice for most parks. The Parkway field behind Raleys is probably best. That field is dirt & scrub brush so it will depend on your landing gear and how flat of a spot you can find.

 

If you’re new to that plane, I’d suggest doing the maiden somewhere with a lot of wide open space and concrete to land on. You can go out to Raymer Way off near Grant Line and Douglas (https://goo.gl/maps/sz5bn). It’s an undeveloped neighborhood with paved streets. It’s only ten minutes from Folsom. Probably worth the drive just for peace of mind until you get the plane dialed in.

Speaking of that undeveloped neighborhood, I think the parkflysac.com guys are going to have a BBQ and fun fly out there next weekend (Sunday I think?)
