Im really pleased you've enjoyed the race. Im hoping to promote this type of racing as an option to run along side the classic velocity based racing. In answer to your question, the rings don't have a transmitter and so we use the data stream logged onto the rings as they fly and retrieve the logged data after they return to their home loft. We were hoping to have another race this week but the weather isn't going to be satisfactory so will be delaying the next race to September 13th.

@@bluebar.2030 Thanks for the clarification. Very cool! I'll look forward to the next race then.

Hi Joseph. Sorry for the late reply. I've only just noticed your post. I've written the software for this myself to gather the GPS data and syncronise the time stream to a common latitude so each bird can be viewed as though they have flown as a flock and we can see an exact comparison of each birds homing ability. My software then generates a file that can be read by Google Earth. I hope this answers you question.

@@bluebar.2030 Thank you for your response..I thought its a commercially app. At any rate, enjoy your good hobby.. Hope similar software can be eventually introduced in the Philippines..Regards and more power to your channel.!!!

@@josephreyes3227 Thanks Joseph. I wish it was commercially available. I've approached the company that manufactures the rings - Skyleader about them using my software but no reply. So that's a shame. It looks like one of the other GPS ring manufacturers will be taking up the offer soon. Watch this space.

It sounds like Jim Cater will be doing something similar soon in your area. Hopefully you'll be able to arrange some GPS racing there.

Yeah

Hi Rory, I've just answered a similar question by Joseph in the same stream with a bit more detail. Let me know if you want further information.
