Narrative:

Departing chino, ca from santa ynez. Requested arsa service from ground controller and received code to squawk and frequency for departure control. After departure reported to departure control and was idented on their radar. Continued climbing on runway heading expecting instructions to turn nwbnd. After approximately 3 mins controller asked me to identify and advise destination. Replied destination with identify. Was then told by controller that destination was north, which is confirmed and advised I was awaiting his instructions to begin turn. He advised he wasn't giving instructions to turn and that I should read up on arsa procedures. By this time I was above arsa. May have entered air traffic area for riverside airport.
