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 )
Yeah - when I lived in the UK, the situation was pretty much the same ... coz the club had maybe 40 members, and if 15 turned up to fly on the same day, that was unusual.
Now that I'm in Silicon Valley, flying at a club where we have about 350 members, things are a bit different. If you try to wait for a chance to grab one of the 6 flight stations when there are no racers up, or no 3D'ers, or no jets, or whatever, you can easily wait for
several hours (especially on a busy day like Sunday) ... so since avoiding certain types of fliers is harder at such a busy club, it all comes back to courtesy. Unfortunately that's not always in abundant supply, but such is life.
