RE: Spinners
true. He is not a member of the club either, and he brings out like 5 or 6 airplanes. He does all of his engine tuning at the field which I guess is no big deal, except he does his at a flying station where every one is trying to fly. I don't have to tell you how annoying a glow engine spinning at full power is when you are trying to fly next to him. He has been told countless times that he needs to move over to the test area. He moves for a while but pretty soon he will be right back at it. The problem is while we are a sanctioned AMA club, we are on state land and I don't think we have the right to tell anyone they can't fly at our field. We have quite a few people who come fly there and they don't pay any dues and they think they don't have to abide by our club rules. It makes me mad because I pay my dues and it does not make me mad because of that, but because it takes money to keep our flying site looking nice and the runways and taxiways mowed so we have a nice place to fly. Plus we have a fund for our swap meets and club events. Some people don't realize the club is more that just a place to fly. I have brought it up in meetings and am told there is nothing we can do about it since we are on state land. I mean if somebody wanted to have a picnic on one of our runways while we were flying, they could and there is nothing we could do. a bit extreme I know as it would not be very smart for the picnic goers but you get my drift. does anyone have any thoughts or ideas? I am sure we are not the only AMA sanctioned club flying on state ground.
