Default Hovering and 3D Field Etiquette

What wgeffon said is absolutely correct.

It's all about etiquette, cooperation, tolerance and finding out what works for the club you are currently in.

The solutions to different styles/types of flying (helicopters, 3D, gliders, pylon, oval, touch and go, etc.) at the same field on the same day rest with the club. And nowhere else.

What needs to be kept in mind is that we all (this includes people who fly the "oval") fly in a manner which someone else finds fault with. IMHO someone who does nothing but "touch and go's" ties up the runway area more than a 3D pilot performing a torque roll in the same area. But, I will not support telling the person who likes flying touch and go's, "you can't do that because I have to fly around you". I simply find some other manuvere to work on while he is flying. When he lands, then I practice the torque roll.

Etiquette, cooperation, and tolerance are the keys.
