Because the 3Ders will come to those fields too. Already thought about that.

They look for the audience. Sorry if the truth bothers you.

If I thought for a second I could go to another field of equal quality and not have any 3D flying there EVER, I'd go there and never look back.

Just curious, what's so amusing about that? Did you tghink I wouldn't be willing to be segregated for the greater good of the hobby? Perhaps you assumed I was not. I'd be willing to do whatever it takes to have a field that isn't compromised by these sorts of distractions and dangerous situations. After all, when the 3Ders start flying through the pattern with no warning we sportflyers land our planes in the pursuit of safety, for us and all in general. Why wouldn't we be amenable to a common-sense solution? Find us a field and agree to stay away from it, we'll be glad to go. Since this WAS our field first, it's reasonable that you find us a field that will accomodate us in the same fashion, that's reasonable, though you may wish to laugh at that as well.

I have another question and comment or two. During a "Huckfest", do they stop things at lunchtime to allow a sportplane to fly a demonstration? I don't believe they even allow sportflying at a Huckfest. I'm not aware of any events where 3Ders are not welcomed if the regular/sport flyers come. In fact, they are given more latitude than any other form of RC that I've ever seen in 32 years of flying....

Maybe we need to start a thread on this.
