after reading through this thread I think its time to pull up stakes, and find a new place to fly that includes all its members in decisions requiring aditional equipment and expense,exacting some sort of revenge is a waist of time and energy.

what the club might find if it disrespects its members and neibors like the farmer getting the flyovers that flying privalages get revoked and loss of membership,but that might be its goal to pear down the amount of pilots for the bennifit of a couple of members.

my club which has over 100 members and is 40yrs old, had been flying at our field for 10 years with no problems, the old landlord sold the property, and just a few complaints from some bitter folks at one end of the land, and we lost our space to fly,the new landlord just didn't want to hear the griping from a vocal minority,now we are currently looking for a new flying site which in our area is not too easy, since property value and availability is tough.

better to move on good luck with it.
