Today we chat all about flying field etiquette! We get to a TON of topics in this podcast but our main segment is what to expect at a flying event or a local flying field. Hopefully if you are backyard flyer and have been considering going out to a club or an event, this podcast is just what you needed to get out the door. :)

- As a private pilot I'm used to announcing my intentions. But its hard to get a complete sense for what RC Pilot expect for announcements. (e.g. do you call out cross wind, down wind, base and final? Do I only announce when crossing the runway or also out in the field picking up my foam pieces). It would be informative to have a list for the call's you'd expect to hear on a normal Saturday at the local club, a Tuesday night in Josh's backyard and at a busy day at a large flyin, Do they have tower and require clearances for landing at such events?
- another topic that I'd really find of interest is tips and etiquette for finding local places to fly (and parks, playing field at the local school, open space). Are there any good tips for finding such places and any great insights. Obviously one should be considerate of others there but any other great insights for making the most of what's near by?
Again thanks!

... but he was on a flying event before. Even if it was really small, the European Meetup still counts. =)
