I notice allot of people in this thread say they "fly alone". Although not an issue with the AMA safety code many true and horrific stories are out there on why this is a bad idea. Let's say on a bright calm perfect sunday morning you get to the field unpac all your equipment, put the wing on, fuel up, do a good range check, put on your glow driver, touch the starter to the spinner and WHAP!!!! a piece of a finger is laying on the ground. What would you do? Profuse bleeding, pain and shock. Would you have the mind or ability to get to medical treatment? Allot of flying locations are farther out than closer to these facilities. Also say your engine surges and slams into your thigh tearing the femoral artery, would you survive if you were alone. These cases are documented and true. I myself have had my finger tore up by an unforgiving prop being 20 or so miles from the stitches that I needed. I was alone then and haven't flown alone again. Just something to think about. Remeber it is not always the "other guy".
