Yeah "hate" is probably too strong a word but it serves this topic well in grabbing folk's attention. I've also posted this thread elsewhere & like here, have gotten some interesting feedback.
I think everyone agrees, flying DLG from a flight station at a busy "power club" is not a good idea. No doubt, what seems to be more acceptable/sensible is to designate an area for DLG, the same way most clubs do for helicopters. Or at the very least allow us to toss around our DLGs during downtime or between flights. What frustrates me is the unwillingness I've witnessed to even try to accommodate this type of flying.
Yes I do most of my DLG flying at my local facility where sailplanes are dominant. Its DLG heaven, I have it good, shouldn't complain. I think its because of that (I'm spoiled) that I'm so bothered when I'm told "you can't fly that here". And I totally understand why but that doesn't mean I like it. My goal is to get folks thinking about this issue is all.
