I don't see how ones choice as to which aspect of the hobby they persue should entitle them to any more exclusive use of an airfield than someone else. What or why one flies is not a valid reason for demanding solo or preferential use of the field. On the other hand, all must choose when to fly and be courteous of others. I will not fly if someone is practicing pylon, or if there is a group of people flying overpowered ARFs 2 feet off the runnway (conditions that I feel jeopardize my plane or enjoyment) and I would also not hesitate to land or delay my flight for someone maidening a plane, but for someone to expect me not to fly simply because they want to practice for competition or because their pane is more expensive? No way.
