At Woking model flyers we now fly on all frequencies. A frequency board is employed to track active channel usage. A ‘Peg On’ system is employed.

And this is how it works. You will find painted on the frequency board a list of channel numbers, each with a corresponding, orange peg with frequency numbers on them. To claim the frequency you simply take the peg and attach it to your TX. In it’s place attach your own peg with your name and channel number marked on it. When you have finished with the frequency just replace the peg, simple!   If you don’t have an orange frequency peg – YOU CANNOT FLY!.

The idea being that it’s a double check system, for instance if you find a peg missing, where is it? It may have been lost ,or someone may have it and have a TX switched on, so check before you fly, also while I am playing big brother, you know what happens sometimes three or (oh ***) four on the one frequency, so why not operate an informal rotor system, when you have flown, just inform the next in the queue that the frequency is free, if he or she does not wish to fly, pass the word on to the next, and if someone has to leave the site early, just swap things around so that they get a flight, its friendly and its safer..

NOTE: BMFA rules also require that a frequency pennant is attached to the Transmitter Antenna, complete pennant kits may be purchased from Addlestone Models.
