Default RE: Flying field quality

Well, if its more fun for you to follow all the rules, then go for it.

lets see, the common ones.

Dont start your engine untill your 5 feet from the active runway.
When you take off, fly to the prescribed altitude.
Once at altitude, stay in a pattern, rounded rectangle please.
No aerobatics close enough to the runway to see what you're doing
Make sure to smirk with disgust at the helicopter guys if they try to take off within earshot.
3D is not allowed unless you can do it at 300 feet away
No low passes over the runway
Make sure to yell your every intention to everyone
If you land outside of the center of the runway, you will be banned from flying.

And my personal favorite

Stand in this box we built fo you next to the runway, that you cant get out of quickly in an emergency...for your own saftey of course...

Now, aside from the heli part, ive seen those rules at clubs...how the hell can you have dun flying in a big circle all day? seems silly to me, and anyone who is in this for the fun of it...
