Now you've opened a interesting area.
I guess if the flier is following the clubs rules then I don't know if fault is the right term but it is a risk you except by being at the field
now if the flier is violating the rules he needs to get the boot.
I don't think clubs have really addressed 3d flying that much and as it becomes more popular then I suppose there needs to be either 3d time or an area set up for them
like helis at the clubs that allow them or just a rule for no deliberate stalled fight.
one things for sure 3d is not going away as the younger fliers seem to like it as do lots of other age groups
I say it better be addressed by the powers to be or it will continue to become a bigger issue
They will always want to fly close they just might have to find somewhere other the a club field to do it at
I agree that clubs need to clarify their rules & communicate them to the members. One club I belong to doesn't have any specific rules about 3D, so I do what seems safe to me & the others there at the time. For example I wanted to goof around with my foamy but didn't want to fowl the runway because there were a few planes in the air so I walked down at the end of our parking lot 100+ yards away from anyone & flew it in an open field area there, nowhere near the runway. Apparently some of the older guys didn't like that so they complained that I was flying behind the flight line. I guess technically they were correct, but in the spirit of things I feel I was being less intrusive & safer for everyone going where I was.
I'm going to suggest designating that as a park flyer area at our next meeting.
