Show Time: set up your club's show
Run a model flying show, fun-fly or club event in the app: pilots sign up, you build the running order, and everyone can follow the flight line live.
How to start
- Club admins create shows: Shows in the menu (Community) > New show.
- Give it a name, pick your club and flying site, the date and how many days it runs (up to 4), and when flying starts and ends each day.
- Choose a default slot length and write About the show - what's on, parking, food, entry fee, insurance needed.
- Tick Pilots can sign up to let any pilot ask to fly, and List the show publicly to put it on the Shows page, in Shows near you on Explore and as a pin on the maps. Unlisted shows are only for people with the link.
- Pilots tab: accept or decline each pilot who asks to fly. You see the models they're bringing, their display plan and the note they left for you.
- Running order tab: add slots (for example Jets, Heli display, Open flying), set each one's minutes and day, add accepted pilots and the model they'll fly, and move slots up or down. The times work themselves out.
- Show crew: add flight line directors (they run the running order and the flight line board) and commentators (the commentary console, comments and questions) by username.
- Event map: tap Edit map, pick a pin - car park, entrance, spectators, pits, pilot box, food, toilets, first aid or info - tap the map to drop it, then Save map.
- Share it: the show's own link (rcflyerpro.com/show/your-show-name), Print QR poster for the gate and the pits, and the Big screen link for a TV.
Tips
- Pilot checks: tick Ask for a BMFA membership number or Ask for a valid Flyer ID and pilots add them when they sign up - anything missing is flagged on the Pilots tab.
- Shows over several days: each day starts at the flying start time, and you set each slot's day in the running order.
- The weather at the field - wind, gusts and any Met Office warning - shows on the show page on the day.
- The next guides cover running the day, flying at a show and following one as a spectator.
