Am I right in understanding that your invitation is the general type that those interested are welcome to come out to the field and if someone might be around that is willing to put them on a buddy box as a guest? or Is your invitation for the public to bring their new plane out to the field and someone if available will help them get it in the air (buddy box or not)?
If I understand your question correctly my answer is a resounding yes on
both counts. Not really sure why you would have such questions since it seems perfectly plausible and reasonable for the affirmatives. It really ought to be that way...shouldn’t it? Any other way would seem a little odd to me.
Just for clarity though, my first response to your original query was in regard to new or even experienced Park Flyers but our invitation is definitely
not limited to just that one aspect of the hobby.
I understand why camW asked his question.
There are
many clubs who will not accept, train or even test fly a plane using a radio system that can not accept a buddy box.
There are clubs who
will not accept ANY plane on 27 MHz.
There are
many clubs that will provide flight assitance to a guest and/or flight instruction only by appointment and sometimes only on certain days and only by certain designated people.
And, of course, there are
many clubs which have to restrict the type of planes that are flown due to local restrictions. Ours, for example, can not allow fuel powerd planes to fly based on landlord restrictions.
Since you reply was directed to me. Here goes…
Previous point;
“...consequently there were many hoops to jump through comparatively. I think most
clubs will follow that pattern closer than not. Then they will come here and talk about the falling AMA numbers and declining interest in the hobby…go figure.”
Thanks! You proved my point.
Yes,
most clubs lack what it takes to truly advance an ever greater hobby base. You are part of one of those. I think if you truly desired you might could make your site at least electric powered friendly or even better yet...who knows... but alas you probably have what
you want in a flying site or you would make a change one way or another...no escaping the truth
no matter what you understand.
