Just wondering, to the experienced flyers out there, how often do you get to fly? ( Not counting a SIM ) Once a week? Twice a week? Every decent day?

I would think that after instruction, that I will be lucky to get out about once a week, or once every two weeks for a couple of hours or so. ( due to having small children ). Just wondering.

timnbrody,

I too am fortunate to have a couple of young ones at the house so I don't get to fly as often as I would like to. I try to fly at least once a week if possible. If I'm lucky it may be twice a week. I'm not lucky very often though!!

The wife and my 16 month old son were out-of-town for the past two weekends. I flew both weekends on SAT and SUN, got in plenty of stick time.

The norm is usually twice a week though, if the weather cooperates of course.

Well i fly every every Sundays..Make it a point.
Sometimes i get to fly on Saturdays but for the past 3 weeks i'm doing a temperory job so my Sat. flying is off!!;(
Once i start back college then i hope i get to fly Sat. as well.

everyday i can, on average about 4 days a week for about 1.5-2.0 hours a day

Try to get out once a week. Every once in a while I manage twice.
Dennis-

I usually get out twice a week, once on Tuesdays where I frequently don't bring any of my own planes, and again on Sunday mornings. Contest weekends and the week before a contest is different, sometimes I fly more then as I'm busy trying to get everything trimmed out and battle ready.

Once a week come hell or high water.......on rare occasion I'll get out twice a week.......sometimes my son and I will fly electrics near the house for an hour once or so a week too.

Once a week. I spend every Saturday from 8 a.m.-1 p.m. or so at the field. I would like to fly at least twice a week, but that's not going to happen.

Three to five days a week depending on when my instructor can get out there - which is a lot since he lives next door and is retired.

Every Sat.

Normally 3 times a week!!

I restarted flying (after more than a year stopped) two weeks ago and since I am on vacation from school, I went to the field every day the weather cooperated. About 5 times a week in these 2 weeks. But I believe that when my vacation is over, it will be rare to do more than twice a week.

Daily doses of park flyer, sp400 wing, or sailplane from my high start.
Once a week on weekends (all day weather permitting)with my Aresti w/magnum .52 fourstroke. Once every couple of weeks with my Alpha (for training purposes.)
Once a week in my Dad's ultralight (T-Bird)

On average once a week, either Saturday or Sunday. Sometimes both, but the there are those weeks I don't make it at all. I only have one plane and no portable charger so I generally get in 4 flights each day I go out. Usually these flights occur over a 3 to 4 hour span. The rest of the time is spent socializing and seeing what others can do with their planes.

Average about 27 to 28 days a month

John

once a week... usually on Saturday evening from 4-6 pm . get about 3-4 flights ( because of flight traffic )...
would like to make 2 sessions but itz difficult.
i also bought a sim which i use when i feel like but the feeling is not the same .. my kids (both of them) love to use the simulator .. hope they get to the flight line one day which would be fun

Im like all the rest, once a week. I usually only get one weekend off a month due to a rotateing work schedule. So I try to get one day a week in, if it doesn't get rain out.

I try to get in every sat and sun. but with the type of work I do, sat sometimes dont happen, but sundays are mine all mine , hahahahahahaha,

I go very early, and get my stick time, and then the rest of the day I devote to helping others and the very important BS sessions that are 1/3 of this great hobby, I take pictures ,Ishake hands of people who maybe just there to see whats up, cant tell you how much that time means to me !!!!!

weekends are official, and here and there I try to squeeze a weekday.

I fly once a week on Sunday afternoon with my instructor. Thats when most guys in the club fly. We are starting a new field that is only 15 mins. from home vs over an hour. Three other guys from work are going to fly there. We are planning to fly about 7:00 pm on tues or wed nights while the days are still long starting next week.

I fly 4-5 days a week for a couple hours a day, but am slowing down here lately. This summer has been great but SWMBO is starting to complain and if Mama ain't happy, Ain't nobody happy!

I fly twice a week. One day on the weekend teaching my daughters and then on Wed. night with just the guys. Works out real well.

Twice a week!!The more you burn the more you learn!!!!

during the summer i can fly at a model port maybe about 1-3 times a week. But since i have an electric to i can fly at a park often. During school no more then 2 week total.
