the C word is all important, is as knowing your fellow flyers, whos going to be flying for half hour doing touch and go's, whos going to be doing 5 mins of fast passes ( very high danger risk if your standing out there ) (( yes i do it too, tho dun have the nerve to get as close or low ))
in our club the situ is this.... we have some fun flys, some fast jobs, some sport, some combat and some boring sods
the fast jobs normally pick the right time and get a quick 5 mins in while the air is empty. as do the combats ( not full on air to air )
every one else flys together, but as everyone has time and likes to chat, theres never more than 4-6 in the air at once, mostly 1 or 2 or no-one. thats when i go hover... ORRRRR if the people flying are ok with me, like another fun fly the other day, tho what we did was follow each other in loops, that looked cool.
now.... all our pilots stand in a line, so we all know what we are doing, and if i hear LANDING or LOW PASS or just see out the corner of my eye someoe heading my way i use this handy little device called a throttle, and right way my plane is way above and out of peoples way. i've never been in the way for someones landing.
anyone that says its easy, yes, it is now, but hell it took me ages to get it, torque rolls, not yet, but i do those high and right out the way till i get it.
final point, if you know someones going to be flying where you want to be, or they might moan, then wait a few mins. theres some people i wont share air with no matter which plane i fly.
i do wonder if theres a problem that no flyers talk to each other at these clubs, so all they want to do is fly non stop. i get maybe 10 flights in a whole afternoon if im really on it. mostly 3-5
