I'm a student at the University of Florida and I am down home in west palm beach for the summer. I have a variety of RC planes, the latest being a Modeltech Magic Funfly. I used to fly regularly at Soccer fields and open parks about 3 years ago. I started gathering all of my stuff together recently and fixed the damage that the Magic sustained while stored in my garage.
I've been to the dyer park field a few times without my planes just to watch and hang out.
I went out to the field Wednesday afternoon just to see if anyone was out there flying so I could spectate, but unfortunately there was no one there. I'm trying to figure out when is a good time to go out to the field to watch people fly. I work during the week but have all day Wednesday off. I realize that there's probably not a set time or day when people come out to fly, but I was just curious to see if anyone could give me a relative time when they think I have a chance.
THANKS

Thanks for the reply.
I was gonna try to head up there this weekend but my cousin's wedding was saturday and all of the family was in town, so I was pretty busy all wkend. I might try to head up there next wkend.
How was the wind? I noticed that it was pretty strong when I went up there during the week.
Thanks

Yea... The few times that I had been up there the weather was perfect, but I noticed the last couple times I was up there it was extremely windy.

Only a couple of diehards fly when the wind is up. On sunday afternoon you might catch Chris and I practicing combat.
Your magic will harrier backwards if the wind is right. It looks cool to land in reverse if you got the nerve.
I made it to the hill today (6/4/07) the wind was down and the usuals were coming back out. It was a great day for 3D. tail touching on the asphalt. The wind did not pick up at all until about 11:00am.
With any luck I will be back on Sunday.
