ORIGINAL: busted2props

Hmmm? Let's see, established flying field being infringed upon by a BMX bike track. That, in itself is interesting. Well, not really, as there are many flying fields with people walking around, biking, having picnics, socializing and they are oblivious to the aircraft flying overhead. So, I ask you, shall we have no fly zones anywhere anyone may wander? NO!!! Once again I say, "You cannot live your life on what if." If you do, then you will never get out of bed 'cause you might slip and fall and break your neck!!!

Now, I am as much for safety as the next person. But I must draw lines at some of the most insane things I hear or see. This BMX bike track should not be of anyone's concern. Continue to fly and have fun. Then if it comes into contention, negotiate a flying boundry. Until such, let it go.

Now for the rules in place. It is my experience that those who complain the loudest are the ones that break the rules most often. Or they will complain about how Fred flies his plane in close proximity of blah, blahthen go out and intentionally do what they have complained about!!!! Let it go...If you can't fly, then don't. Don't complain about those who can and maintain control of the model.[>:]

Now I know I will catch alot of flak over this, but please keep in mind I fly with the reasonable man theroy. I just don't need nor like the Nazi mentality. What's good for you is good for me...Don't complain about the guy who skirts the edge of the pits at altitude, and then land your helicopter in the pits....Come on!
To me, the reasonable man theory would hold that since the BMX track is other peoples' property, it is only courteous and respectful to obey the no-fly zone.

"Nazi mentality" is a pretty strong term to use for enforcing a reasonable club rule to help ensure the club's future.

If most club members follow the rule, then the reasonable thing to do is enforce it

Hope that sounds reasonable
