    Hi, I've had my dsx9 for a couple of months now and this has happened a few times ( when I'm out at the flying site and I would switch on the tx the screen dulls down and on one or two times I can hardly see what on it, first I thought it could be a power saving tool on it, but it happened to day again and when I got home it was fine.. just wondering if anyone else's tx have the same thing, my dsx9 v2,

    Hi Alan maybe it’s just they way I have came across, but we have never had a problem with this other club and I’m quite friendly with a few of its members. my problem is the shared airspace on a Sunday and the way they have gone about it. We spoke with the chairman of the club last year when this rumour first emerged about them using this site and we were told that they definitely had no intention of using it. I feel that they could have had the decency to approach our club to discuss the matter before any final decision and perhaps an agreement could have been made or they could have joined with us at our existing site and are disappointed that this was not the case.

    Thanks for getting back to me. In the email received from the other club they have stated that only their members can use the new site and that this was a condition from the landowner.   We, as already stated, have been active in flying models for a considerable lenght of time in this area and would have had no objection whatsoever for this club to come and become active members of our club.   Think it might be a case of just being extra careful and watchful in the future to ensure everyones safety.   Gerry

    As the title says:: how close should model clubs be from each other ?, Hi all I’m just looking to see what other modellers opinion is. It’s just that I have been informed late last night that another club has move just across the road from our present site. a few hundred meters from us, now our club has been established at this location for near forty years so its not like they don’t know that there is a club near in fact some of its members used to fly at our club. there was rumours last year that this club were looking to use are old site as there new flying field but when I ask there chairman at one of the area meeting his told me that his club had no intension of doing so, So this email has come as a bit of a shock. Although 2.4gh will do away with any possible interference problems, but the thing is on our present site were are unable to fly on Sundays so to solve this problem our landlord lets us use part of his land on the other side of the road considerably closer to the area that the club intend to use,, the problem is we would be using the same airspace, as this is a big safety point, the possibility of accidents happening due to persons using both areas is a great possibility..

    Thanks for the info, it seems that a separate heli area is the way to go and share the main runway when it's agreeable to all there at the time. obviously fixed wing and heli pilots all use the same pitts, as i wouldn't like a heli click V fixed wing click to develop. lol..

    Hi all, i am just wondering if any of you fly at a site that has both heli's and fixed wing and what way does your club organize the flight line, it’s just that the club I'm at fly’s mostly fixed wing but there's a few of the members talking up heli flying and they are not happy haven to ask the fixed wing pilots for a slot.
