Don't get to uptight. I've learned that what goes on at the field goes on, and 98% of the pilots follow them just because it's nothing more than good common sense writtian down, not because they've memorized them. Most of the time a rule becomes a rule because of trouble in the past. They are not there because you are in R/C basic training...they are there so if a 2 percenter shows up and blatently causes trouble, the club has something writtian down to refer to to get him to straighten up. Go, fly, have fun, and it will all become second nature, and you'll see what I mean soon enough
