Right on. Back in the 70’s when I was learning to fly helicopters,the fixed wing Guys complained of us hogging the field. This was no gyro days and hard. Today the hovering airplanes hog the field and there’s difficulty trying to get a forward flight of anything in. I can relate. Great job. I’ve passed it on.

As an ex state CFI for over 10 years in Australia, I have to say that no club member should ever shout at anyone else, in particular newcomers! Kindness, respect and offering advice when appropriate, improves the pilot in questions ability and confidence whereas an aggressive approach achieves nothing but negative results.

As someone who grew up in the hobby during the early 90s I can say that I have witnessed all the traits you describe. When I was doing things with a model aeroplane at the age of eight that most men in the club couldn’t do, you get a bit of negativity from them. Now I’m now in my 30s and still love flying. The key is fly safe and have fun, they’re big kid toys at the end of the day.

I used to belong to a club in the mid 90s in North Texas. There was a 14yo kid there who was truly gifted on the sticks. His dad said that he was flying solo at the age of 8 after just one lesson. He took to it like a duck to water. To this day, that kid is still the most gifted RC fixed with pilot I have ever seen. He could fly with such accuracy it was incredible. Everyone respected him greatly, and if he gave anyone at the field any advice, they always listened. Even the really old timers. When I first joined the club I showed up at the field one day with a brand new plane. It was my second plane. I could fly, but was still very green, and hadn't flown in a couple of years. He went over my plane and made a few minor adjustments, then maidened and trimmed it. Then he buddy boxed with me because I was nervous I would crash it. He gave me a lot of pointers and had me flying solo confidently by the end of the day. Good times...

I've met plenty of older dudes thinking they're better pilots but didn't want to prove it to me after i've flown and show what i could do.

It's definitely a bummer that some flying clubs have that culture. It sometimes takes trying a few different ones to find one that is more laid back. We got lucky with our last two clubs thankfully. Worst case - park flying is always a fun option as well, as you said.

Nice one! I started flying in a corn field, 30 years ago, with other 2 friends . We use to fly super cheap self built 1m planes, 1cc engine, no rules. I went once to an official rc plane field and I got so many rules and warnings, that I return flying to the corn fields.

This channel just gets better and better, keep up the good work!!!

Recent subscriber, I anticipate these video’s. The informative fun rc/flight content is fantastic.

I always love looking down the flight line. You can always tell who's plane has a problem. You can't see the plane between the 5 guys crowding around it trying to help. Half the time their help is actually what makes it start working.

Another quality video from one of the best rc channels out there. Great work guys!

SPOT ON !!!.....You guys are beyond you're years ...TY for posting another great video.

Dude this channel is straight flames all you peeps making such fire content love it!

Brilliant Video, you really hit the spot with alot of these and topics like the legislators effectively only making it harder for those who care and not those who just do whatever they want

Same types of people using different terms in EVERY hobby, well maybe not matchbook collecing. Loved the video.

Youre absolutely right, these kinds of people are the reason, why I only once went to a flying sight in my six year long rc carrier. Love ur channel and style of videos please keep going like this.

I'm a pattern flier. But only because the FAA, the Tower, and Approach, get really pissy when you try to randomly hover over the airfield. Rescue isn't a fan of it either but they get to play with their hoses so they let it slide.

About 15 years ago I quit the hobby and took up ham radio. Ham radio is also full of grumps, but now I can just turn the dial to get away from them. Now it's amazing...I can spend countless hours with my hobby and never be told I'm doing it wrong.

An excellent analogy for the AMA club experience. Especially the FAA wannabes and the Club police. I have been building and flying since the 1960s and I avoided flying clubs for those exact reasons. Back then we had to worry about crossing frequencies and shooting each other down. It was always better to get a bunch of friends, find a big field, and try to chase each other around.

Love it. Everything you mentioned here is exactly why I dont go to AMA fields. My soccer field works great lol. Keep it up fellas. Also what flite test video was that?

What a great funny video as always guys! I am that passionate kid in the hobby and luckily I’ve never received ONE complaint from an older person about how/where I’m flying thank goodness. My neighbors love it when I fly! Well, there was only one instant where I was flying my UMX Ultrix at a soccer field and this guy said he was getting nervous because I was flying too closely. I apologized and moved over some but he STILL CONSTANTLY was watching my plane. 😂 That itty bitty Ultrix haha. I’ve got myself multiple times with it and had my finger in those prop blades at full throttle before. Yeah it might hurt for a second but definitely didn’t cut me open. A bigger plane, yes for sure it would! Definitely still gotta be careful but sometimes people take it too far! Thanks!

I'm glad I found these videos and comments. I'm new to the hobby of about 4 months now and there is a local RC club/field about 4 miles from where I live (very convenient) ....never knew it was there. I stopped by there one day during the week while out on a rip on the bike, met a couple guys that was there, and they gave me the low down on requirements etc....they seemed like good ole boys and I was thinking about joining....not so much now. I'll keep going to the 2 schools and the ballfield I found, I hit the ballfield during the week and the schools on the weekend while kids are gone and the place is huge, you could probably fit 6-7 football fields inside the flying area and now I met the guy with a farm next door that has 40 acres, he told me if I ever get run off at the school just come over to his farm and have at it. I don't do drama so them flying clubs can have it, I like the quiet, peaceful, being outdoors, sun on my face, fresh air, no mouth, nobody bitching, no rules, out of the house and watching the graceful flight of my plane against the sunset backdrop ALL BY MYSELF....well, unless my friend shows up. There's not too much flying going on when she gets there.

This is the best video on KZread to date 😂😂😂. Love it you guys are the best. BTW my son and I are classified as the 3D class hahahaha he’s always goin nuts with the throttle stick

I’ve never flown club, mostly just parks or blasting around over my neighbors fields (they’re fine with it.) I will say I’m one of those guys who doesn’t strictly maintain line of sight and/or sometimes hop into general aviation airspace when no one is using it. Every time I look at the FAA website and see that I need to go through a whole new process to legally fly is the start of a bad day for me. Now that you’re thinking I’m probably flying 50 miles away and 10,000 feet I will say that I have a personal maximum of 800 that I rare like go to and I will try to maintain visual contact, mostly with my drones as those are screens, my planes are a different story because I can’t take my eyes off of what I’m doing and those are rigged to goggles. The only time I’ve flown in a club like setting is when the fite fest West happened and that’s the first time I’ve flown an airplane FPV and not ended my day with a crashed plane.

"official flying fields" operated by clubs are the R/C equivalent of living in an HOA neighborhood.

Very entertaining video! Of course you can find disagreeable stereotypes in any gathering of three or more people. Challenge for me is to realize when it's me.

Good video... I started out as the 3D guy, and fit that description pretty well! Lol, though I've since found myself transitioning into the scale flyer guy 'not represented here unfortunately'... in which there is no such thing as too much detail, even if it adds a tone of weight and makes the plane fly like crap... also, trying to match full-scale roll rates and turn radius characteristics in the model's scale.

7:08 took me off my feet.

Good thing I'm not flying at a club, been around one at my beginning with rc planes and I recognize most of the stereotypes, even if I didn't hang around there much. Was curious if I fit in any of these, probably kamikaze is most fitting 😀 Great video as always guys!

Im fortunate enough to be in an aircraft club that is very accommodating to all ages, flying styles and aircraft. We did have a few that thought the were an authority on the hobby, but fortunately they're not part of the club any more.
