I'm lucky because I work from home. Add in that I am only 7 minutes from our flying field, I can get in a few flights a day at lunchtime if the weather's good and then in the summer usually 4:00 pm until dark. So lots of flying for me. The added plus to the closeness to the field is that as long as the weather is good, I can fly at a moments notice.

So to answer the question - I fly every day the weather and/or the brain cooperates.

I should be flying way more than I do. I live on a military base in and can fly in an open field just 100 yard from my front door. However I find that, and maybe this is because I am new to the hobby and that I only have one plane, I only fly once or twice in a two week time frame. I plan to change that soon though (weather and wife pending...).

About fifteen to twenty batterys and .5 to 1 gallon a week in the wintertime. 5 to 20 batterys a day in the summer and anywhere from 1 to 4 gallons a week. Depending on the weather of course. Nitro consumption may go up as ive recently aquired some more glow planes.

Active duty Navy, so besides zero flight time during my 6mo deployments, (once a year for the past two years on board CVN-76 USS Ronald Reagan), I fly my Helo's a couple of times a week! I need to get the dust off my Fixed wings and start flying them again. Soon, Soon.

I have two very active boys (sports, academics, ect) and fly when we are not busy as a family, which has been maybe a few times a month. This year is my goal to make to many meets/fly-ins and fly much more often, weather permitting in the Beautiful Pacific Northwest

Wife also thinks I fly too much, but I don't think it's enough. However, I am fortunate enough to have a ball field a block away so I just fly electric there. I can also fly parkflyers directly out of my back yard, which is pretty great too, but the field has more space. It's to the point now though where there will be some kind of argument if I were to go fly glow out at the club field, I guess those models are essentially big paperweights. But with electrics, I fly everyday in the summer.

I have just moved in with my Girlfriend/Finance and have an agreement with her...
She understands my need to get out of the house once in a while and have some me time. I don't push the amount of days to much and she has not said no yet. She looks after my Son when I do.
In return she goes to her Cross stitching and Quilting friends and I look after her Daughter and son.
Works out ok as I get to fly usually every Sunday during the flying season with special consideration for the close by fly ins and jet meets etc.
Usually in a good month I go thru a couple of gallons of glow fuel and 5 to 10 gallons of Kero/Jet-A so that isn't to bad. (Shortly going to add Gasoline to that mix to. I guess I need to make sure I label the containers well! LOL)

LOL, I've seen a few since I moved here. I've only been a Michiander for the past 8 to 8 months.
I fly at the 'Flying Aces R/C Club' in Flint. [link=http://www.********aces.com]Club Web Site[/link] (Actually, I am the webmaster of their web site)
There is a video page link that has some flying video's at our field and one of me flying my Jet Trainer.

I'd love to maybe come and visit your club some time when the weather gets above.. well, more warmer than it is now and the white stuff on the ground turns to green stuff! LOL
Where do you fly now?

I work full time, usually I fly for a few hours on Saturday (3-6) and on Sundays from about noon to 6. Here in Arizona if you can stand the heat of the summer you can fly year around. Although lately with the rain it has put a damper on flying. I came from Nebraska and glad I could sell my skiis.

Happy flying.

This winter has been every day the temp is above 45 and not windy as heck.  This summer will be 4 times a week at least.  I need to fish every once in a while[8D]

On a good month i fly 1 time. On a bad month I cry and suck my thumb. I try to get to the hobby store and play on Realflight at least once every other week. I never get enough time to fly. But a 2year old little angel keeps me busy, and i am ok with that.

It helps i get to play with real planes.

Lucky for me Ilive very close (3 houses away) from a huge park, so I can just leave for work early in the am and snatch a flight or 2 on the way to work. I usually get to fly about 3-4 times / week.

But,I just fly small (fits in my trunk)electric stuff, so pulling into the park, hopping out and chucking a plane into the air takes very little time.

Every Sunday 1 until dark thirty... weather permitting of course.. But a few of us have been known to hang out in a trailer on bad days to see what happens

I try to average once a week in good weather (spring/summer/fall). During the winter, I get out maybe once a month when a warm(er) spell comes.

Since I am retired and during good weather, I get out to fly 2-3 times a week during the week days. I leave the weekends to the poor guys that have to work for a living. It is a 45 minute drive out to the flying field but I have gotten use to it. One nice thing about our field is that we have remote cameras and a weather station which can be accessed through our web site so I can do a full check of conditions at the field before heading out.

I tried to fly today but it was too windy. However, I went with one plane and came home with three!
A guy had a MaxfordUSA Nieuport-28, receiver ready for sale for $100 and it was just soooo pretty, I couldnt pass it up.

My buddy was flying his Funtana S90 and dead sticked it. He bent up the LG a little. He never did like that plane. So he gave it to me. Saito 100, JR XP8103 8 channel radio, RX, 5 servos, EVERYTHING! FOR FREE!

Ill never fly the Funtana, but I am looking for another kit for that Saito 100.

What a great day at the field even though I didnt fly!
