How often do you fly in a month? How many flights do you take?

I fly almost daily, usually at least 5 trips in a week but sometimes 7 or more. Typically on the weeknights I'll fly at most 2 tanks (typically 1) and on the weekends 2-3 tanks each time I go out (more often than not twice on Saturday and once on Sunday).

I fly 4 or 5 times during the week and 2 or 3 tanks per outting.
I'm retired so I try to leave the weekends for the working folks.

I fly about 5 days a week. Four to six flights per day maybe more on the weekend...

I fly 10 to 12 flights daily as long as the weather permits. Then I just wait till it clears and start flying as soon as able.

Maybe one tank a week if I am lucky.

I try to fly on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. Thru the week i can get about 3 flights per day and on the weekends I can get about 8 to 10 flights per day, depending on what I am flying.

wow nobody here goes to work on weekdays??? I fly on Saturday and Sunday. 6 - 10 flights a day.

1 or 2 days out of the month if I'm lucky Single father of 2 little girls.. time is not a commodity I usually have

Hmmm...
Based on just these handful of responses, it begs the question: "Is it possible for a normal person, who barely has time to eat and sleep, to devote enough time to participate in this hobby ?" As a followup: "just how much time is necessary ?" Just something rhetorical to ponder...

Now, back to the question,
I tell myself at least twice a week but end up lucky to get one, using 3 tanks at a time. I'm just starting out and have lots of enthusiasm and still have trouble finding time. Oh well, if I could ever get the right parts and not have them fail rigth away it might be better.

I fly, at best, 7/8 flights a week on one day of the weekend. Though I'm at the field for 6 hours, part of that time is spend teaching, helping, and buddyboxing. The other days of the week I have a life .
You can learn a lot just one day a week, however, you'll need a bit of sim time to stay sharp. I don't really think I'd like flying every day, or even every other day.

I fly on Saturdays and Sundays about 6-10 flights each day....plus i fly for about an hour each night on the sim

I fly on Saturdays and Sundays about 6-10 flights both planes and heils. During the summer I get out 2 days a week after work for about 3 flights.

I tend to only get 1-2 "good" days a week of quality flying time. (6-10 flights)

I also try to take 1 day to travel (reasonable distance up to 100 miles) to meet with guys with high level of skill so I am constantly improving myself.

Many other days, I will spend time going over the machines and testing at the local high school baseball fields or in my front yard.

In my book, sim time does count. As long as you use it in a positive way. But there is no true subsitute for burning fuel!

Sad to be seeing the long summer days starting to get shorter

I usually manage about to only get out on weekends, thats cool because I have a tendency to burn myself out if I get any more. Daz...

I have been flying a lot this year. I usually get out Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday after work and sometimes I fly a day or two early in the morning before work. I try to get three tanks each time I am out. I think I have really improved my flying this year and I feel the only way to get good at it is to put the stick time in! Winter is going to be hard for me this year and every decent day I will be out there flying!

Over the past 6 years or so, I have burned a minimum of 40 gallons of fuel a year - all on helicopters.

The only time I burn any fuel in airplanes is when I take someone elses plane up for its inaugeral flights or to help friends with theirs, or to instruct someone with an airplane.

Weather permitting, I try to fly between 3 and 5 hours a week. I have two heli's and fly them both every time I go out. Well, when both are up and running that is.

Fly every flyable weather day, if not working late. If I know I will work late, I take the heli to work and fly during lunch brake. This week is a teardown and repair week, should be up and running by the weekend... if the Raptor isn't done by then will be the Nexus and a G200 funfly w/.72 Saito (hovers almost good as Nexus).

Right now I am only managing to get out on the weekends. I usualy wind up flying 3-4 times on Saturday and 3-4 times on Sunday. But right now I am only flying 60's so that almost kills a gallon every weekend. Not quite, but almost.

With my bigger helis, (raptor, XL) I only few a couple days a week a most. However, now I have a LMH Corona, and I fly about 6 packs through it a day. If it's dark, or the weather is bad, I go out into the garage and hover it around, and have fun landing on things, etc.

Every wed night at the field, usually 4-6 flights at the most. I try to fly on the weekends at my house, and occasionally get a flight or two in durring the week.

I am married, with three children, so you really just have to make the time to do it. But this is the main reason why I am still just doing basic sport stunts like loops, rolls, split-s's and stall turns(mant mant turns).

But I am in full control of the helicopter at all times, and I can fly with no fear of the machine, and that is all I really want right now. If I had more time I would love to learn inverted, but I just dont have the amount of time I believe is required to master that skill.

If the weathers bad I will not go out (hurts badly & neck), I'd say 8-10 Weekends trying something new, either percision or 3D. Mostly percision.
