Default RE: how often do u guys fly?

I fly Saturdays and Sundays every week. Well, weather and RCU event coverage schedule permitting of course. I try to get out on Tuesdays and Thursday evenings when I can.

When I get out on the weekends I will usually take 2-3 planes and get 3-5 flights on eacy plane. Evenings is usually one to two planes with a couple flights on each as well.

I hit the field a minimum of once per week on Saturday or Sunday so long as it isn't raining, thick fog or outrageously windy.

On 3-day weekends, I usually go twice.

Generally 3-5 flights per 1/2 day trip but sometimes 7-10 if I'm having a particularly good day or the weather is nice and I end up staying longer.

I also like to use one week of my vacation strictly for my stuff when I can swing it. I'm planning 7 days straight of flying in a few weeks.

Well; for quite a while it was as much as 3 times a week. But here lately, once a week.

My schedule is filling up, so the casual "I think I will go flying today" has gone by the wayside and I actually have to plann my flying ahead of time and hope the weather cooperates.

I too wish I had more time, I feel like my feeble skills have hit a plateu. I just cant seem to get past it. One flyer I occasionally fly with told me its just that now that Ive soloed and gotten past the "Lets play cool isnt it!" stage Im my own worst critic... In part he's right, I am never happy with my maneuvers always wanting to make it better, this is because they arent perfect yet. (Heck my stuff isnt even in the class of ameteur yet!)
