Flying Etiquette

  • All flying must take place from the TOAL point (including the blue badge area), pilots included
  • No Takeoff or Landing from the trailer bed, only from the area around the trailer
  • When taking off and landing please announce this so everyone close by is aware
  • 2 categories of drones - DJI Type and Self-built
  • Taken in turns from the hour (to be decided on the day)
  • Flying starts on the hour for 45 minutes
  • The pilots at the Toal point will decide on channels and frequencies etc. between themselves
  • No powering on of ANY drone or controller ANYWHERE else on site whilst the 45 minutes of flying is taking place – Powering on a drone outside of the TOAL area could cause an FPV drone to crash
  • Any other RC-type machine must be controlled from the TOAL point and with permission from the current flying pilots
  • Once the 45 minutes is up, please land your drones, park your RC cars, etc.
  • After all the drones are landed then we will have 10 minutes of tinker time
  • This means anyone can now power up and tinker!
  • During this time if a pilot wishes to fly they can but only from the TOAL point and at their peril!

And most important ….Don‘t be a *****……… You know!

Please Note: NO FLYING will take place on Friday (2 PM arrival time onwards) until a safety briefing has taken place

I’ll definitely be there on Saturday, but only a possible for Sunday, what about payment in this case?

Yet again I can only make the saturday/sunday due to work commitments, another engineer has the friday already booked off so my holiday was refused.

Payment will have to wait till pay day. :+1:t2:

We recommend paying for the Saturday in advance, and paying for Sunday before you arrive.

I meant we use your sunday money to get more. Lol

(Edit, of course we would not do that).

Yes we looked at the layout and feel the camping would be more suited to the other side as the slope gradient is less on that side

Also, the flying area is a bit more open and the field in front is more challenging to the FPV ers as it has a few trees to crash land in power loop :smile:

Hence why I put…

And then I thought of lamb

Makes sense now

In the Hilton sale at the moment Hampton by Hilton Corby is under £70 for Friday night and £82 for the Saturday night. Just need to join the Hilton Honors scheme to get this rate, which is free.

This includes free breakfast.
