RE: Safety issue at non-ama field
By the way, I do sympathize with the OP, we have had similar problems at other public fields, and the truth is the "dangerous" guy never hurt anyone, and eventually settled down to some degree(after wiping out too many airplanes), while many accidents happened with average joes flying "safely". My point, I suppose, is this...all the time and energy spent on attempting to rein in the "dangerous" member is not a good thing...if he did not comply to the local standards after the first few times, he ain't gonna, ever, unless HE wants to, so why lose any sleep over it? We had our whole club up in arms for months, and the true fact of the matter is we really DIDN'T have the right to "enforce" him(public land, he has the same rights we do) and there was no point in getting so crazy about it, it will suck the fun right out of the hobby. When he flies, if I want to, I can land.
