Flying Etiquette

  • All flying must take place from the TOAL point (including the blue badge area), including pilots.

  • No Take-offs 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 are up, please land your drones, park your RC cars, etc.

  • After all the drones are landed, 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

Sounds like a plan?

I’ll await the google form.

Kebab might be the safest option, considering we have only one porta-loo. :running_man::poop::fire::hot_face:

I here is that drone bug thats targetting drone operators that week end but symptoms only are seen in none drone people. I hear that doctors are prescribing a weekend in a field. Just let them know you will be taking precautions so they are aware. You are just looking out for them. While your at it… ask for a raise due to you being considerate to people there. I am sure these will give you the day off. They may however extend your holiday a lot longer. A LOT LONGER.

Option 2. Ask…“if somone just did not turn up for work with no explanation but said it was important… is that ok” dont forget to add… “asking for a friend”

A message to people who have not done a big meet. You can see by the increasing list of people signing up… it is popular and you fet to have a fun weekend with like minded people. Its worth a visit if you can get there.
