2slow, flying a parkflyer or an indoor heli are way different than a nitro bird. I fly the stryker at a park, and no, if there are more than a few straglers out there, i wont fly...as for the heli, i fly in my garage or in my backyard...I wasnt saying i wanted help or encouragment to go it alone here, The post was more of a vent about not being able to find help at the field, but then i also said that i would wait again for an instructor.

And yeah, the military does enforce who flies there. There is a sign-in at the quarterdeck every day when you get there and when you leave. They do enforce what goes on because it is an active installation, they enforce all the ama rules and some of their own. They arent going to come out and just randomly check people, no...but risking getting caught is dumb, since being there and doing something that is posted as against the rules would constitute tresspassing on gov't property...not too good of a deal. They do watch us, if we fly over the main runway they will come out and warn us...(crash on the runway = possible FOD for real jets)

And if someone did come in and ask to fly by themselves, without ama in a public place, even if thats directly what they asked, you still shouldnt tell them to do it...

I dont agree with the safety police here often, ive been in a few arguments over it actually, but when you suggest doing something downright dumb and dangerous in a begginers forum, thats a bit dumb to me...in another forum i might not have even though twice about it.

so 2slow, im not trying to tick you off, its obvious you just got different information from my post than what i meant to convey, its the internet, these things happen. So no hard feelings, please. I appreciate that you responded at all and did try to help. Me saying that doing that was retarded wasnt meant as a direct insult to either of you who suggested it, it was more meant so that the real noobs that come in see that and dont think that just doing it alone is a good idea. When i was posting in this forum before, 2slow, you helped me out on a number of occasions, so im not trying to insult you or anything, just dont want to see someone read that and do something dumb.\

Anyways, im going by the lhs today and getting the hardware to finish up the mod to the wings (servo wire extentions, controll rod stuff) and ill post pics of it done, for the heck of it, since everyones seen about everything anyone can do to the nexstar...war-duck is still my fav though...
