Default RE: Questions about hovering

Some questions about hovering and R/C club fields:

1. Does your R/C club allow fixed wing aircraft hovering over or near the runway, the runway approach or departure paths when other aircraft are flying?

2. Are there any club rules or guide lines that apply to hovering?

3. Do you have a blacktop runway or a less defined grass runway area?

4. Does your R/C field have a designated helicopter hovering area?

1.yes, tho if someone calls to land or take off i just fly/rocket off.

2. well, unnoficial safty ones, im generally tho only regular to do it so there not penned down in any way, its commen sence:
stand with the other pilots, dont go wondering
wen standing, dont fly near myself, things do go wrong every so often, im allowed to kill myself, but not others

3. a big bit of grass, on 2 sides weve got concrete

4.nope, they do wotever they want to do, within reason
