Default I'm being shunned for hovering at my club!

My personal rule at the field is that I don't want to do something that will make the average person nervous.

Our field rule on 3D is that it should be done in short periods with the plane/helo in the middle of the field, when other fliers are present, and that they should normally fly the established pattern. If you are the only one up, then the field is yours to do what you want, just not behind the flightline.

I fly with a great bunch of folks that respect each other and if I wanted the whole field to go 3D nuts, all I would need to do is ask for it and they would certainly let me do so.

Bottom line, if you go in with the attitude that you own the place then it ain't gonna work. If you give respect first, then it is almost always returned.
