matt_k Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 It depends how committed you are, if you can get up at sunrise (4am)you can fly more than waiting for a nice flying afternoon to land in your lap! I always have my kit in my van checked, fueled and ready to fly, and four flying buddies all gagging to fly all keeping each other on our toes when the weather is looking good I reckon we average about 2-3 times a month in essex, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outkast Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 hi allwhat would you say the avarage amount of flyable days in east anglia there are in a year regards lee it also depends on how experienced you are and what sort of flying conditions you are prepared to put up with, to some a bumpy flight is a bit of a inconvenience, to others its a nightmare. this sport is about compromise, you may be able to get plenty of airtime in throughout the year but it may not be on your terms.
