Alot boils down to respecting each other at the field. I belong to two area clubs and its not unusual to have between 20-30 pilots at the field allways. Both clubs have at least 5 flight stations to use. We have basically 4 groups of fliers at both clubs, Heli pilots, foamie & electric pilots, 3D guys , general sport pilots. All respect each other and allow each group to have their time on the field. This happens without any verbal talk. People just walk up to the flight line with their particular type model & lets say its a 3D 150cc monster, wait until the last what ever lands. Then that group of guys fly. If a solo flight is requested,the pilot puts up an orange highway cone & he is allowed one solo flight all alone in the air. If some one just cant wait to fly, i have seen where we ask the guys flying if they mind flying with mixed types. You generally know who doest mind flying with helis , foamies & 3D planes in the air at the same time. Yeah, theres allways one or two people that have an issue with what ever you do, but thats life anyway. You get to know who they are and we work around them. Most pilots around here have one of every type model at the field anyway so they allways have a group to fly with at all times....Gene
