I fly foamies under the street lights!!  Or my light equipped plane.  Or build something.  Or read.  Or come on here.

I should make a habit of always having a plane with me, I could fly if I had something. Sadly I don't :(

About 15 minutes ago i learned a valuable lesson:

Flying on the street at night isn't as easy as it looks;
depron breaks easily;
hitting cars breaks planes.

and hopefully CA can fix all of that :D

You are not insured by MAAC if you fly in the street.

If you damage a car or hurt someone, your parents will be responsible.

Practice flying new airplanes on a simulator, or buy a new balsa kit and teach yourself to build an RC plane.

Okay.

I don't normally fly in the street, its just that my great uncle is visiting from England and so he wanted to see the plane. He also might come to the club on wednesday to see :D

Hi Imran, you do realize that you can fly any day and don't have to fly solely on Wednesdays?
We want to encourage less general flying on Instruction Wednesdays so it is less stressful to students.
Remember when you started how nice it was to fly alone or with one more model up.

There are flyers at the field most afternoons and evenings if the weather is good.

Jack.

Yep its awesome to be able to fly whenever I want, but it'll kind of be a habit to break now.

And I understand completely, thanks for pointing it out Jack :)
