Well shoot, it sounds alot like E-Challenged is referring to the field I fly it, and if so, I wouldn't be surprised if I have rubbed him the wrong way there he he. Are you referring to Whittier Narrows? Five flying stations, run way running north to south, or vice versa, although most pilots still land right to left in the some times northerly wind ha ha (and then they wonder why the plane is screaming past them, reaching the end of the runway really fast).
I completely aggree with Wayne, and I pick my time to fly, and some times I pick my time to land, cutting my flight short. Yes, I like to be over the runway, hovering, waterfalls ets., but I get out of the way if anybody declares a take off or a landing. I guess non 3D flyers don't realize, that 3D is done better low, slow and close. I have not received anything but positiv comments when flying at Whittier Narrows, if anybody has a gripe with my flying, they should approach me at the field, so it can be discussed face to face.
