[NSRCA-discussion] What do you folks do at your flying sites?

[David Harmon]

Or..snag that little shorting plug thingy on the side of the fuse and
casually lose it in the grass...

This seems to fall into the realm of common sense and common courtesy.  

 

At our home field, I don't feel I have any right to fly alone when all of
the other sport flyers share the air.  If the crowd is small, Most of my
fellow club members are courteous enough to let me fly alone.  When the
field is crowded, I purposely take off when there are others in the air to
make sure they don't feel obligated to do so on a busy day.  If I'm not
comfortable with the number of planes in the air. I don't fly.   

 

Regarding glow vs electric.  Same rule seems to apply.  If there are two
pattern guys on an empty field, who cares.   But when it's a crowd of us,
and we're all scrambling to get in as many flights as possible, it seems
rude that one "slimer" is getting in twice as much practice time as the rest
of the group.  That said, I figure if the said offender is oblivious of the
problem, or worse, is unconcerned with it, then they likely have bigger
issues to deal with.    In the end they're still toy airplanes.

Electrics fly 8 minutes per tankful and YS and gas fly 15 minutes per
tankful. 

 

What do other clubs do to manage the time in the air discrepancy? 

 

I'd guess it's a non-issue or at most a minor one and would probably get a
different answer if I asked the question of a group that isn't 80% electric.
I was threatened yesterday about flying my gas plane longer that the other
guy flies his electric.
