This question was sent to me in an email, and honestly Im not sure what the correct answer would be.
From email:
your post hit a key question right on the head......who is or has the right of way with 2 flight lines.....as a newbe, I can see myself intiminated by an advanced pilot when we both are flying with the need for the same distance for presentation.
I replied with, I was worried about the same thing when I flew my first contest and a fellow flyer told me I wouldnt even notice the other plane in the air. Also you would have a caller with you whos main job is to make sure you are clear of other aircraft and vice versa, and to call the manuevers for you as you fly them.
As far as you has the"right of way" Im not even sure.
