Your exactly right in my opinion Mr. Matt. I recognize everyone's right to exist and do what they will. It just galls me that someone can just decide to start flying close enough to an established field to cause problems and the guys playing by all the rules are the one's to have to make concessions.

I understand why not everyone wants to join a club. Perfect example. My brother and I fly gliders every Sunday morning (weather permitting) at a local middle school using a high start. I know where all of the established fields are and we are a minimum of 15 miles from all of them. My brother hates to hang with a bunch of people I can take it or leave it. So this is perfect for us and it does not interfere with any "established" club in our area. However, if it were near an established club, I would NEVER think it would be ok just to pop in and start flying. It is not ok to do that regardless of what anyone wants to say. I guess that technically I have a right to fly wherever I want, but who really thinks that way? Is it blind ignorance of what the effective range of the transmitters is? Possibly. Or is it to hell with the world I will do as I please?


Or am I missing something?
