Default RE: IT'S HARD TO GET THE FEILD

ORIGINAL: gaRCfield

it's been hard for me to get to the field with my new motorcycle in the driveway.
Give that a few weeks, there's bound to be field time left when you can still fly once it's WAY too cold to ride the bike.

I know, because I'm from Maine.... I still remember selling my motorcycle after 21 years and the guy wondering how it could be in such excellent shape after all those years (showroom). He wasn't from Maine and didn't yet know about all the nice months we had to polish every inch of them in between riding seasons.

And of course, I also flew RC, and now I'm in Texas, and I can pretty much fly here all year. But I find it a little weird that this fella expects that somebody should just up and give him a ride to the field. I'd consider it if he was here, but that part doesn't set well with me.

I agree, Dan Macmurray....After reading a few of his posts I realize that this guy and RC are not a good fit together, and I'm more than a little certain that I can figure out why no rides have been offered. RC is not a cheap hobby, and you have to be a responsible person to handle the costs, which include getting to and from the field. OR adapt your hobby to your environment. Like....RealFlight for this guy. Perhaps he could learn to fly helis on Realflight and then would not need a field. I think the point very soon will be moot anyway, what do you think?
