I fly with a group here in WV that is not a club. We have no rules or president and such and we never have a problem. We are getting ready to host our 11th annual fly-in which is the largest in WV. Last year we had 92 pilots. Then we use the frequency board and set some "rules" such as flying the pattern and no hovering over the runway, but that's about it.

I also belong to a club in another town. I try not to go to the meetings very often because I don't care to listen to the same stuff over and over and all of the arguing.

By the way, our Fly-in is AMA sanctioned. It costs a little more for the sanction because we are not an AMA club and will never be.

When there are a few guys at the field, we do like the other fellow said and ask who is on what channel. If there is a conflict, then those two guys take turns and communicate.

Whoever said you needed an organized club to fly RC is inaccurate in their thinking.
