In six years of flying during the week at Muncie, I have never herd or seen anyone flying at the soaring site with their card/note in the freq. control box. All the sailplane flying I have seen during the week has taken place at Central. It actually is much more convenient than the soaring site. Also, I have never heard any of the MISS guys complaining.
Actually, I feel it would be unwise to fly on the soaring site during the week. Probably the best way to get shot down at Muncie I can think of.

I will admit, it is not a great B site, but to control frequencies, all fliers have to work from "center" on any open flying day. There is talk of a frquency control program that would cover the entire site, but I think it is far in the future. Even when the MIST guys have the field for a contest, if guys show up with power ships or such, after a conflab to concur on frequencies, usually they can proceed to south end and fly. And FF'ers are there many days that soaring is going on, so, sometimes you have a FF model end up on the site too. > > I know it is a hassle sometimes when you are doing such specialized flying, but what was done is the norm. > > > >Marc > >RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
