Brian! What's up man? This is an interesting one, and I'll throw my .02 in.. I have a park next to my house that I fly foam, and my trex at regularly. It's a pretty good sized area -- about 3 soccer fields. I only go down there when absolutely nobody is around. If there is, I ride my bike back home and come back later. The schedule is very predictable. Other flyers in the neighborhood come down on occasion as well, and we get the gig. Safety is key no matter where you are, trust me, I get it. If I was at my park, and someone brought out anything glow, I would probably get just as fired up as you did. If there were kids around, and the guy gave me a line of sh!t, I would either get in his face, or pack it up, and call the fuzz. That would completely jeopardize any future flying at my park for me personally, but the tradeoff of a near close call with a kid makes it worth the loss. The "screw everybody" attitude is indeed worthy of an ass beating, but maybe you can knock some logical sense into him next time you have a run in. Mentioning AMA, etc is good, but technically you're in violation as well is the field is not sanctioned, which makes the argument a red herring. Try diplomacy first, be nice, tell him where the local club is, and keep banging on him. If the guy still acts like a hard on, you need to risk your own secret location at the cost of true safety. They are around every corner bro. Hope it all works out.
