I'll tell ya,

When I get to the field I'm usually 1st or 2nd there, the Usual rule is, the first flight of the day from anybody!! earns the peace and tranquility of the endless horizon all to their inner being,[8D] after that anything goes, but most times, one will be up there enjoying the nice lines drawn by the bird, maybe some nice lazy rolls or gentle free falling acrobatics, but then it just happens, after waiting a whole week to fly, people just can't contain the extravagant tremors tingling through their veins [&:] and out of the single engine tone that drifts & echoes through the open plain, a harmony of birds orchestrating a symphony of buzzing bees around your head is inevitable, hence,,, the fun has really begun.

We always try and be safe and not endanger anyone, that is the #1 concern, but if we smack together in the air trying a little formation flying, or dogfighting action, then we asked for it. and we always have the respect to stay away from the newbies and the people who are just trying to figure out there craft.

I do have to agree with you about the respect of laughing at another RC pilots fate, But luckily, we have all been flying with each other long enough not to worry about that, even our new comers get a serious bustin on and ribbin when they go down, I have to say we are pretty relentless when it comes to that, and the E-mail wars that go on for the following week are great, Imagine the fun you and Jack have with each other about such atrocities, well thats what were all about down here with about 15 of us, what makes it work though, we all know anyone of us could be the next victim 5 minutes from the last victim, so you have to take your shots while you can.

Sure we all like the skies to ourselves, but there is nothing like trying a nice low altitude hover when 3 other birds come barreling down the runway inverted, knife edging, and at high speed all around your sitting target, just to scare the livin begesus out of you. [X(]


Then it hits you,,,,,,,,,,,,,, for your prepared for anything that comes your way,,, and the best part is, revenge is only minutes away,,, yes,,, your an RC Pilot. is there anything better in the world.
