I can't help but rub it in a bit - but it was sunny, calm, and about 70 degrees today down here in Gawja. Our flying field was SRO. More pilots than we have at a fly-in. Only problem was air traffic. Honestly, I would taxi out and hold short of the runway to wait for a gap in traffic to take out.
Sorry to see those planes hanging around the hangar.

It suppose to get to a balmy 5 degrees here in Central Illinois this comming weekend. I like to Fish, Garden, and fly Model Planes. You can imagine my misery! What really sucks is that I have most my winters off from work, since I am a Brick Mason. When its nice in the Spring, Summer, and Fall, I have to really try hard to find time for my many Hobbies due to long work days. Glad to here some people are getting to enjoy some flying time. I may have to strap some skies to one of my old Trainers just so I can go get a little flight time in. My G2 Simulator is fun during winter months, but it just can't substitute for the real experience. The club I belong to has a day each week that they fly electrics in a gym. I may have to go start doing that to relieve my misery. I do have several GWS Electric Planes, but I have always flew them outdoors.
Sounds like your field is a pretty active spot rcjon. I am not much for flying in a bunch of traffic though. I flew the limbo last summer at our club, and more than a half a dozen Planes were in the air all at one time. I am one that always likes to know what is going on around me, and I find it to distracting to keep track of my own Plane, and worry about where 7 or 8 others are. My Brains are not used to that kind of stimulas.
