Now that won't happen at our club. We do have some other issues, but nothing like that. Some may ground themselves in order not to intefere with the large scale planes, but we take turns. Usually, though, we have 4 or 5 up at one time (max is 5 up at one time because we have 5 pilot stations and club safety rules dictate no more than 5 at one time).

Then the pattern guys get up and do their thing, so we watch for a while and then wait our turn. But, usually, everyone shares the air time pretty well.

That is for most of the time. We have a couple of renegade pilots that don't go by any rules and will stand there and argue with you if you try to enforce pilot stations, for instance. But, that does not happen often, and we usually just stop and let them do their thing and they leave fairly quickly. However, I've said something on occasion and have tried to enforce the rules.. usually a waste of time, though, for this type of person, and it just isn't worth the effort.

We have sensible rules, some of which were mandated by the State because we are on State property at one of our fields. So, we are rather stringent with those rules at that field. At times, though, it becomes a problem, but usually people just go with the flow and get along.
