RE: How often do you get to fly?
Non-retired...
Saturdays and Sundays, from 1:00 pm to field closing, weather and spouse permitting, during the weekends.
An occasional day take off from work during the summer months adds more flying time. Holidays are iffy due to family events, and busy airfield.
A "good day" at the field for me consists of well over 10 - 15 minute+ flights with no plane damage.
A bad day consists of less than 8 flights... and/or plane damage.
I just purchased 9 gallons of glow fuel for the upcoming flying season, though I tend to favor my gas planes instead.
