well I had a pretty close encounter with another noobie yeasterday. I had gotten out to the feild yesterday evening and went up for my first flight and everything was cool. so i came down re-fueled and went back for my second flight. *Now I don't know about any other fields but at mine when you come in for a landing you call out "LANDING" loud enough for the other flyers to hear. So i was up about 20 minutes so I decided to come in again so I called out "landing" and proceeded to come in on my base leg. I noticed another guy who was flying coming in on a base leg to so i thought he was doing a fly by because of his altitude so I continued coming in. I was about 30 feet away from the runway when he comes down and is flying right by me. I'm a noob myself to so this freaked me out he was flying i would say no more then 5 feet away from me at the same speed. Just before the runway there is a berm that is about 7-9 feet higher then the runway so you have to watch out for that. Now both of our planes were approaching the berm and we were really close but i still thought he wa doing a fly by so i continued going. Then the other guy smacks the berm, so i went full throttle and pulled outta there and missed his plane by about 2 to 6 feet. I went around again by this time he retrived his plane and was in the pitts and i landed.

The other guy never called landing and i don't know if he was going to either. And usually if you do a low pass you call that out to. I know i called landing out loud enough because i talked to my dad later and he heard it and he was in the pitts.

It sure freaked me out!

Anybody else got some noobie close calls?
