I feel bad anytime that ratio is greater than 50:50.

I fly every Friday weather permitting. I get there at about 9 am and leave at about 3 pm. I don't do a lot of BS'n except for the 11 am BBQ with the retired fellas. Burn Baby Burn Fuel!!

Don't feel bad Bro... the BS is a big part of why I joined the club. I wern't complanin' - just wondern'...

I belong to a somewhat inactive club whose members prefer to fly one-at-a-time so I fly(in ascending order of preference):

1. When it's my "turn"
2. When no one else is taking their "turn"
3. 'Til I run out of fuel, juice, planes....
4. "Til my nut-sack comes off!

It's generally a little better than 50/50

I go to the field every day but thur fri and sat and go through about a gallon and a half a week don't much care to talk to the guys at the field most of the time. only time I am not flying is while charging or helping my dad.

On the weekends I probably fly about 15% of the time :shock: ie 2 hours out of 8 - 10 hours at the field. During the week after work, or when it's too windy for most to fly, I'd say it approaches 50%, but that's seldom.

It depends on which field I go to. My regular club field is generally pretty active when I like to get out so I spend more time BS'n. I also fly at a VFW hall about 10 minutes from where I work. A few guys started flying helis there a couple years ago and I kinda fell in with them. When I normally fly though noone else is ever there. Today I got out of my truck at 3:18. I put in four flights of at least 8 minutes each. The timer on my tx is set for 8 minutes and I always run over a minute or so after it beeps at me. I pulled out of the parking lot at 4:02. Pretty much hand launch to land at my feet, refuel, restart and back in the air. I love this field!!!

Same here but BS to fly about like Tater 70/30 :?

But some days I go out to a ball park then;
1. "Til I run out of juice or planes.... or
2. "Til my nut-sack comes off! 10/90

My BS factor is about 40/60. :roll: It dpends who is up at the field.
Some people like to talk and others dont.

Yeh, I guess I feel like my time is limited and I need to get my butt flyin instead of arguing who makes the best glow plug. :roll:

There is one guy who comes out, doesn't talk to anyone, flys, fills up, flys fills up and never leaves the flying station till hes got 4-5 flights in and then packs up and leaves. He makes it look like its a job. So don't get me wrong.

I just talked to a buddy of mine - actually a few hours ago. He's on vacation this week & plans to fly tomorrow afternoon. Another buddy is joining in around 3:00. I have 5.5 vacation days to burn by 2005.
Guess who's taking a half-day tomorrow... Tater!

For the last 2 months, I was hitting the field almost daily for 2-3 hrs in the evening. I recently have had a lot of other things that needed to be done. I noticed that after a week layoff that my 3D has actually improved.

WOW you guys fly alot! As most of you already know I belong to the Rosslyn social aero moddeling club. Hehehehe

I spend every saturday and every sunday and most friday afternoons at the field. I'd say on a good saturday 6 flights are alot. Sunday I do about 8. Gotta find time to have a beer as well right? 8)
