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

Landing models always have the right of way. That is just plain old common sense.

Some things simply do not mix. Helis and 3D should have their own flying facilities, whether official or unofficial. I fly regular planes, helis and profile 3D models, so I am not prejudiced, just pragmatic. When I want to fly a heli, I don't want to hear a lot of whining from the fixed wing crowd. It is only logical that I find somewhere to fly unimpeded and unharassed. Ditto 3D.

Refusing to yield the right of way to a landing aircraft is one of the best arguments I have heard for building a strong, heavy model. A Kaos covered with Super Coverite and painted with epoxy paint should do the trick. Pooof! Landing complete!
