How often do you get to fly?
 

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. :D :D :D

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

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.

1 day a week
 

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.

How often do you get to fly?
 

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.

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.

How often do you get to fly?
 

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.

How often do you get to fly?
 

Average about 27 to 28 days a month

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

SOUNDS LIKE THE ONCE A WEEKERS HAVE IT
 

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 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.

On nice days two flights on lunch hour. Then Two or three after work. Weekends as many as the honey-do's permit.

The way I was able to get to fly and not piss off the wife was a schedule. Twice a week was fine as long as she knew when I was going.

I fly with rcfireman, so basically the same. Wednesday evenings and mostly 1 day each weekend.

Not enough!!!

Earlier this year before I soloed, it was about 3 times a week. I think you will learn more quickly if you can go fairly frequently.

I agree with RobStagis.

If your married, twice a week is pretty good, when she knows you're going. Just popping up with "I'm going flying" usually "doesn't fly"! :devious: LOL!! Sorry, couldn't resist that pun.
If you're single....get your ***** out there, what are you doing reading this?????? :D

A lot more that most! I fly between 8 and 11.5 hours both Saturday and Sunday. The fun part is I get paid to fly :D

As often as the three 'W's allow (Work, Weather, Wife)... actually, for "wife" read "family commitments... kids etc...my wife is really very supportive!... I work one in three weekends, my wife works too, the weather(typical west coast rain) interferes.... I figure I'm doing well if I get to fly one weekend in three!

How often do you get to fly?
 

about once a week myself

How often do you get to fly?
 

All day Saturday and Sunday (was a great weekend!) and also every Tuesday and Thursday for trainer night to help out. Of course, I get to go up in between trainer flights... :)

Just started flying this spring. With my trainer, I was addicted, so I was going about four times per week. Put together a 4*60 ARF and on the third flight of the first day, few it below the three mistake level, augered -in. Needless to say that slowed me down till I got it replaced, could have flown the trainer, but was determined to get the 4*60 under control . Well, the new 4*60 flew yesterday. I try to go out Sat and Sun, and one day during the week when I am off work. One problem at my club is certain days are for combat and some nights are for training. Also the days are getting shorter, we were flying till nine at night, now it is getting dark earlier and earlier.

Once a week
 

I try to get out at least once a week but even that is limited to a couple of hours. I am planning to be out on Friday this week before the holiday. I took the day off. Then it's off to Cleveland for the Cleveland International Air Show. I try to go every year.

Bill

Mike - Sorry about the 4*60. Hope it's ok. :eek:

Hi Red Wing!

The 4*60 was totalled, so I got a new one. I will be at the field this Friday late afternoon. How is the SSE? Have a good time at the air show, wish I had known about it.

well lets see Im a kid so I sleep as much as possible but the other day I was up till 3:00 putting together A new plane for my bud so we could fly so we got up at 8:00 got to the field around 10:30 had to make some stops on the way. then we stayed there till 6:00 and that was a short day at the field then I did the same thing the next day. so I typicly fly 2-3 times a week over the summer and 1-2 times a week over the school year. or in other words as much as my mom can stand the inevitable mom can I go flying? questions. sorry for the long post
