[LASS Soaring] Really guys only 40 will be flying!

Okay Ryan, 
 
What keeps the other 60 to 100 guys with various brands of 2.4 in their  cars 
and pits from being on all at once? Impound?

I  don't know about the rest of you all but I have seen the # of concurrent  
systems limitations in a lot of the litareture out there on the Spektrum and  
the Extreme.

The way Spektrum works is if it can't grab the 2  channels to opparate the 
receiver simply won't start "working".  So,  assuming we are all being good 
about doing our "wiggle checks" and if we are  doing a good job of checking our 
"blinkies" as suggested by Don Richmond,  should not be an issue there.

So  far as our soaring goes, I think it is unlikely we will exceed the 40  
"channels" at a soaring event.  Take the Nats for example, there might be  pilot 
groups of 10, so perhaps there could be 10 guys turned on and waiting at  the 
winch staging area, 10 guys launching and 10 guys in the air soon landing,  
but that still leaves 10 channels and perhaps a few guys "in the pits" might  
have radios on fiddling with trims/etc, but worst case one of the 10 guys that  
is turning on at the staging area just lets the "round master" know he can't  
get a free channel.   

Hope you all had a good  Christmas.  I got some servos to help complete Psyko 
#2.   

Ryan

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe the general modeler believed  that 
with 2.4 all concerns for freq control were over....Millions could all  be on at 
once...there was the story about the huge heli event with hundreds  of 
attendees most enjoying the freedom of 2.4....hmmmn.
 
Did you all believe that the amount of 2.4 TXs on at once was almost  
unlimited?
