Just wonderin what the masses will fly on any given day at the field.
Typically I fly 3-4 times (tank fulls) and that's about enough for me.

I don't just mean one plane. I'm talkin total flights per flying session with whatever ya drug to the field.

The most I ever flew was about 8 one day last summer.

One flight each with the slow stik, and Slinger flying wing everyday, unless the wind is too high, then just the wing a couple. On the average day in the flying season, a flight or three with the nitro stuff, a couple with the electrics. On weekend flying get togethers, never counted, but pretty much non-stop all day. 10-12?

Using my average 15 minute flight times;

If I get to go in the evenings 2-3.

If it is an all day session, like a weekend, then probably 6-10...of course on a few occassions there were more.

If I'm flying me own stuff, ya its usually 4 to 6 but If I'm playing instructor that day, 15 - 20.

I'm usually in the 4-6 range, unless I'm training someone. Then it goes up to 6-8. I think the most I've had by myself is 8, which is over two hours in the air.

How many planes do you typically bring to the field? I usually bring two, but sometimes three planes.

Normally I make 4-6 depending on the plane and batteries. My record is 11 when we had a boy scout day and made sure all the scouts had at least 2 flights. I would have had 12, but the plane hit a bird on #11 and that was the end of the day and the plane as well. (Avistar Trainer) Most flights were 10 - 12 minutes with just a little time to re-fuel and start with the next scout.

I go twice a week in the mornings. Retirees day you know! Make about 5 flights and like to watch the other pilots fly or BS with the boys. Then it's off to the Nighthawk bar for lunch. A burger with a thick slice of onion and a Pepsi.
My wife says I spend way too much time with the boys but you won't find a better bunch of people.

I usually always shoot for getting 6 flights in......but sometimes it's more, sometimes less. I definitely spend more time BS'ing then flying.

So far I'm suprised at the results. I expected the teens to be more the norm due to the fact of reading about field chargers etc, all the time.

People just want to know which is best. Not to use, to know I have a fast charger for events and because I'm too lazy to charge stuff the night before so I throw it on the charger for the trip. My batteries are so big on my bigger stuff I can get 8 flights no problem. On my smaller 3D stuff I have so small of a battery to save weight that 3 flights is pushing it.

I only take one plane to the field. Unless it's an event. Can't fly more than one at a time so why take a bunch?

Why to show them to all the guys and the visitors of course.

I fly about 3-4 flights a day, sometimes six to nine. I've only been flying for one season so the only thing I brought to the field was my trainer, and then it was the UCANDO .46 (I took most of the hardware off the trainer).

I am excited about this year, I got a T-34 Mentor late last year and had a freind maiden it but I haven't flown it yet, I built a Crazy Thing made by Precision Aero that has yet to fly and a GP Mustang that I am currently covering. So next year I can see bringing two or three planes each trip to the field.
