First Timers: If this is your first time joining us, welcome! Please take a few moments and read the notes below on our best practices for piloting, frequency and safety management. PLEASE CHECK IN WITH THE EVENT ORGANIZER before you fly or power up anything. First timers will be paired with an established S3 Team Pilot as your “Event Buddy.” You can observe firsthand S3 team pilots doing flight preparation, pit adjustments, frequency compliance, field behavior and/or group signaling/announcing.

Not flying? There's lot's of technical expertise, lurkers, newbies, and interested friends just hanging out, so even if you don't fly, you can still hang out, take videos, or just watch and learn.

GENERAL GUIDELINES:

CRASH & TRASH: Take out what you brought in, including a little extra while you're at it. That way we're always spotless and keep venue owner happy to let us return!

FREQUENCY MANAGEMENT
We will be on channels R1 R2 F2 F4 R7 R8 ONLY
(Set your frequencies the night before, if provided in advance): Since most pilots are using the 5.8ghz video transmitter bands for FPV video, so please be aware of your transmitter type (Fatshark/Immersion or Boscam) and frequency channel. Every pilot uses this technology to fly their aircraft safely, so it is imperative that every pilot understands and operates using safe video transmission practices. For indoor flying, we do not allow any power above 25mW. If you are unclear on any frequency issues, please consult one of the S3 team pilots, Google, or join or Slack!

THE BASICS:

1. Power up your video RECEIVER and goggles/display first BEFORE you power up your aircraft and video transmitter. If you see someone else's signal, DO NOT POWER UP.
2. During races, only those in the race should be transmitting video.
3. For racing, the racing coordinator(s) will make frequency assignments and assign spotters.
4. Please know how to change your video channel, and arrange the video transmitter on your aircraft so that the dip switches/button to change your channels are easily accessible. You may need to change channels quickly just before your scheduled heat.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
