Pittss127,

I agree with you completely that a new person to the hobby would do himself well by going to a club for help, especially if they have an AMA pilot training program etc. But that has nothing to do with the person who started this thread. This thread is about rules being forced on individuals, and has nothing to do with clubs.


The cow pasture in our situation actually does work better than going to the club, because we have no hobby shops in our town, and no real "first contact" point that would indicate to a new person that we even have a club. The cow pasture is often the first place that new people come to, to get a look at the hobby, and some of the people that are doing it. From there they are usually introduced to the club, and join if they want.

BTW: Ivarb, "No more than two planes in the air at a time?" I know you are flying in Japan, but in the USA we have fought hard to have the many frequencies we have.

"No low passes over the runway?" How the heck are you supposed to practice approaches?

Have fun at the sign removal party!!!!!
