Wow, Tony.
Your reference to "excuses" is the reason for this response. It kinda fired me up.
OK Team JR, let's look at the facts.

For starters, how about responsiblilty after some one calls "LANDING" that the field is clear? How many sport flyers even BOTHER to call landing?
What about dead sticks? The fault is still the same. Plus, I practice alone at the field or at least have a caller with me if there are other flyers. How many sport flyers have someone behind them watching and communicating while they fly? Kind of presents a problem in dead sticks, etc, doesn't it?
Re big gusts / plane on the field - we dont shut it off 1/4 mile out. It's on the threshold. Or closer. Cant handle it? Shouldnt be flying. I deal with gusts all the time. It gets done. We do it when we know we can make the field and have it safely.
Tailwheel? Fields vary. I fly off 20ft wide by 300ft long asphalt. Try to turn a 2m pattern plane on that. Let's see YOU taxi out and back your $3000 Angels Shadow every time you fly ( for example only, I don't own one but wish I did )

How about Scale planes? Ever try to turn one in a short distance? Should we all just move to a field that suits our needs as flyers, or adapt to our given conditions? How much fun would that be?
Do you fly Masters in So. Cal? It's the only Tony F I can find on the NSRCA district 7 page.
Go team Futaba!
