I know many clubs forbid flying while consuming alcoholic drinks but I really dont there is a much of a problem with intoxicated modelers as a whole.
That really is a very good point...this thread is a bunch...err..much ado about nothing.
For once, I can agree wholeheartedly with LCS. It is an extremely small issue. I have not seen any alcohol related problems at the flying field in many, many years. Back in the 1970s and 1980s, a local club did have a couple of members that really did drink and fly in ways that were not safe. They are long gone. And even then, I never saw ANYONE under the influence at an AMA event for a CD to worry about.
The present local club culture simply does not promote or encourage drinking and flying.
