RE: 3D & Hovering Guidelines in Your Club
I agree completely with that theory but most of the "Sport" fliers think they don't have to consider anyone else, Some of them forget that I have paid my club dues just like they have and that our club is for ALL kinds of flying, not just left hand circles.
We also have a marker that shows which way the pattern is on any particular day and which way take offs and landings are supposed to be. Some of our members completely ignore that marker and take of in their preferred direction(downwind). When I asked one about it he replied that he was uncomfortable taking off in the other direction. Where's the respect and consideration in that? Rather than ask for help or learn how to do it, he ignores the club rules and puts everyone else out.
