You dont wanna fly your turbine amongst all the old timers, gliders and foamies that dominate fun flies these days. Youll have a better response from a warbird fly.
its actually opposite here. People ask me to fly all the time. If I cant come they call me chicken. Im the only guy that really flies turbines in my town.
Hey Boomer,
you need to move up to banana bending land, I get somewhat similar reception to essyou35. at our clubs annual airshow I was asked to keep the turbine fuelled up and ready to go at all times and I think I put in 4-5 flights throughout the day. Very few turbine drivers at our club an even less that actually fly them at the club. it's a little tight, and there are a few trees that faze some pilots but the right model and decent flying skills and it's not a major problem. When ever I go out with the turbine the field normally stops to watch the flight.
But I feel your pain. It only take one idiot to wreck it for everyone.....
Thanks
Dave
