RE: Distance to your RC flying club!
Not exactly a Club, but my flying field is out my front dore and 150 feet down the hill. Area is 1300 feet by 400 feet but I am still hand launching, need to wait till the ground thaws to grade my runway.

RE: Distance to your RC flying club!
The closest one that I could fly at is about 5 miles from my house. Unfortunately, those people aren't very friendly, so the one I fly at the most is about 30 miles away. Kind of a pain.

Mine is about 20 miles and it's a beautiful drive as it's mostly country! We meet in town and have breakfast and then to the field by 9!

One is about 6 miles, the other about 25 (well worth the drive).
By the way, for all you guys that can walk out your back door, I think you are all [:'(], until I can afford to do that too...then I will think you are all[8D].

I'm sorry P-51B but it's the front yard.
3 miles is a long way, I can have a couple maybe three crashes completed before I drive that far.

I fly from my drive way. I didn't renew my club membership because it is about a forty mile drive. I only got there about four or five times a year. I will spend the dues money on fuel!!

2.1 miles exactly-we are lucky b@st!rds-we have a 4000 ft. runway, paved courtesy of the national guard!
Really one of the best fields i've seen.

30 miles to the club field and 1 mile to the local airport. Spend most of my time at the airport when I want to just put on a few flights. When I go to the club field I spend most of the day there.
