ok so we finally got enough people together for a proper group flight, been trying to organize this for like 3 months. we had maybe 12 people show up which is more than i expected tbh. problem is nobody thought about frequency coordination and like 4 people were on 5.8 at the same time and there was so much interference it was just chaos. two guys lost video completely, one dude had a near miss with a tree because his goggles went staticy right as he was banking. nobody crashed which is a miracle but man we gotta actually plan this stuff better next time. also someone brought a massive cooler of food which was genuinely the best part of the day

yeah frequency management at group events is no joke, people always underestimate it. if youre all on analog just stagger your power levels and try to spread across channels but honestly the real fix is just making a channel list before anyone powers up. its like 5 minutes of work that saves so much headache. glad nobody bindeyed into anything tho

this is exactly why i stopped going to group flys for a while lol. too many variables. but the food cooler thing tracks, every fly-in ive been to the snacks are always somehow the highlight
