"If you have to ask how much it is, then you probably can't afford it."
Bottom line. We play with expensive toys. Who really cares about a $50 landing fee. Maybe for all those who are complaining about the fees you should go back to your 40 size trainers. \
Model jets are the pinnacle of remote control. It's like complaining to the service manager at the Ferrari dealer after he hands you a $2500 bill for a tune up. ...Maybe your in the wrong hobby.

I think you must have meant "Elitist".
Wouldn't you hate the people, and not the hobby?
Anyway, your English is better than my French.
Mark,
Thanks for the compliment. Many people worked long and hard to make that field what it is today. Come on up and fly with us!

Harley,
Mark is right. That is a beautiful field. 800' of asphalt, I think I need to change my underwear
.
I still can't believe this thread is alive. I mean go to a proffesional sporting event with decent seats and some food and you're out at least $100.00 for two hours of watching multi millionaires getting paid for doing their hobby. I just don't get it. This hobby in general is expensive. Even when starting out with a 40 size trainer and all the stuff you need to get going, it's going to cost you about $400.00+.

Nice field Harley 
I like our system of jet events in the states. I like flying with a few other airplanes at a time, as long as it's capped to about four in the air or so at once. It's a great way of seeing the different styles of flight and performance of different aircraft. I also prefer showing up at an event that was organized with the pilots in mind as a priority. Don't get me wrong, I like to know the spectators are enjoying themselves, but in all honesty, I think it's a lot more fun as a spectator to watch thee or four planes in the air at once that a singleton doing a home grown routine.
A 50-60 dollar fee is reasonable if it includes a lunch and a few days of flying. The 100 dollar fees are too much but that's one reason why I didn't go to those
