To give some perspective to the RC discussion, here's one of the larger models being launched at Torrey yesterday (May 11th, 2014):

These were taken from video, and this first shot is a little bit fuzzy and it's difficult to see the actual size of the model:

This second shot is just a fraction of a second later, and you can get a better sense of its size:

(pictures and videos above)

I Don't Mind ( LIKE MOST) Sharing air space at All with Any other QUALIFIED mix of Pilots, Including RC pilots , out of fellow respect / courtesy

But ~ Since there Being JERKS About it ~ Flying Way Dangerous Toys in Our Face
~ Trying to UNFAIRLY Govern the Air Like Other Few Pilots at the Glider Port ~

((( ABOLISH THE UNSUSTAINABLE ~ NO TURNING & ONE PILOT IN THE WINDOW RULE ~ ITS DONE )))

((( Time for the AMA RC Guys AND the GLIDER PORT to Step Up the Qualifications as Who and What they Allow to Fly in a Group & Quit Bitching )))

((( If they Can't Manage the Skills to Fly SAFELY in a Group Like ALL OTHERS AIRBORNE PILOTS~ THEN DON'T FLY ~ Your Dangerous to Others )))

((( At this POINT ~ The City Or Our Flight Director Should Stop this in One Breath ~ EASY ~ Problem OVER )))

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AN Easy New COMMON RULE
~ THE AIR IS OPEN IN ALL CLUB AREAS TO QUALIFIED PILOTS ~ WITH A APPROPRIATE USHPA OR AMA LICENCE TO FLY ~ GOOD TO GO ~

COMMON COURTESY RULE'S OF
~ No Parking or Loitering in RC BOWL
~ NO Parking or Loitering in Take Off or Landing Areas
~ NO PARA OR HANG GLIDERS INTERFERING OR INFLATING IN PATH OF GLIDERS TAKING OFF OR LANDING ~ ( DROP OR MOVE YOUR WING ) ~

COMMON RIGHT OF WAY RULE'S
~ ANY LOW OR IN DISTRESS GLIDER
~ TAKE OFF OR LANDING GLIDER
~ AIRBORNE GLIDER OVER GROUND GLIDER
~ MANED GLIDERS OVER NON MANED (toys)
~ GENERALLY THE NORTH BOUND GLIDER

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WE CAN ALL MANAGE TO GET ALONG ~ THE WINDOW PROBLEMS ARE OVER ~ Thank YOU ~

I would Challenge ~ I Don't Know that Any Club has ANY Ultimate Legal Right to Command Over Any Other Clubs AIR Space .
~ The Air Space Belongs To All of the CLUB Users ~ It Should Be All of Our SKY with EQUAL RIGHTS ~
