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

Mon Apr 7 07:35:55 AKDT 2014

Back in the day before 2.4, many clubs had a 10 or 15 minute limit on keeping the frequency pin.....I always found it sad that rules were needed to enforce common courtesy.  Guys that wanted to fly longer would be prepared in some manner.....ability to move to an open frequency. ....or willing to fly every other "turn" to keep airtime even.

Regards,

Dave

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.
