The norm no matter were you go is no more than three 10-15 minutes flights. I have flown on the East Coast and West Coast and in between and it makes no difference. Yes there are those who fly more than three flights but they are an exception to the rule. For those who don't believe me check it out for yourself and the vast majority of fixed and rotary modelers normally spend most of their time BSing in the pitts. If you really want to fly longer than get into gliders and stay airborne for an average of twentyfive minutes per flight.
