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

[Jeff and Claire]

Nice thing about our site here in Albuquerque- usually there's only two of
us out there, except on a hoppin' busy day when there's four.   When we're
taking turns and my flying buddy is practicing imac instead of pattern, he
recognizes the difference in flight times and says go ahead - fly again.  A
quick battery swap between two 6min flights and it all evens out.  Can also
decline, so in the end it's all good when consideration prevails.

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.
