I'm so stoked you're coming Jim, you were sorely missed at no. 2!

You've done some crazy ass flying mate! I learned from the BEST! For anyone who doesn't know the story, I had lost two planes, one to a crash and one to The New Forest and had only about 10 mins of FPV flying under my belt. Jim spent the best part of two days with me and helped me take my FPV to the next level. I was dodging trees in no time. Meets are the best thing for learning!

Thanks again Jim!

Awesome vid, site looks great, let's hope the weather is as good!

Sure John - put £10 into my Paypal and you're in. We charge an entrance to keep the riff raff out :)

£10 per flyer, or £10 per person? The gf was thinking of coming! :)

Is there gonna be a BBQ? I can bring food!

£10 per flyer - money goes straight into Parish Council coffirs for use of the facilities.

About lunch, coffee, tea etc we'll discuss and confirm this closer to the time.

If the wind is light - please count me in  :D - only 2 hours from Cambridge!
( if not, I'm off kitesurfing  :P )

Looks like the numbers are going to need some organisation in terms of frequencies etc.

Neil, are you happy to look after this side of business for the day? If not, and would prefer just to concentrate on flying I understand.

I'll be a bit busy with my boerewors and drinks :)

We've only got 12 people on the Google sheet thus far, if you haven't already can you please update your video/RC frequencies :

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Au6FU-OW2441dFN4blB2alhBTnBiUGV5dTI4dHFfbHc#gid=0

On sheet2 (bottom of page, see tab) I have started to group flyers.

Lots of you have listed multiple frequencies so I've put you into the group that looks most compatible, which may or may not be depending whether you are moving vtxs around or will be stuck with a specific plane.

At the moment it looks like we could potentially have 6 people up in the air at any one time. 4x 5.8 video and two people on 2.4 video.

Those running on 2.4RC are split into two groups of flyers.

So we have 3 groups of flyers so far.

[krikey]

Id much rather fly :) But Id also not want to crash by being shot down :) Not having much experience with this, maybe we should ask the question about how to handle this with 14 + guests.

Should we simply allow only 4 in the air at the same time and if one person comes in whilst 3 are out, the next person flips on video and control quickly allowing the 3 flyers to holler before anyone falls out of the sky?

Or do we break up the flying into bands as discussed earlier so that we don't have any clash of signals.

So my understanding is that the problem bands will be when 2.4 video meets 2.4 control, when some flyers fly on 433-459 and the amount of users that can fly safely on 5.8 video with enough channel separation.

Is it safe to say that anyone on 2.4 control will probably not affect other users on 2.4 control because of frequency hopping?

I think it makes sense to list the video frequency rather than the channel as this may help to get enough separation or at least understand what kit works with other kit for example boscam and immersion.

How do the immersion frequencies 5740, 5760, 5780, 5800, 5820, 5840, 5860MHz map to the channel numbers everyone is quoting?

UPDATE: the frequencies are on the back of the original immersionRC packaging, so I added them to the spreadsheet.
