This is a branch off of the Mid-air collisions thread.

I think it would be a good idea to create a "Code of Conduct" for pylon racing. Everyone can comment on what they think is the right thing to do in certain situations, and one way or another it will get distilled into a coherent document. Or maybe it will just live here, or be copied into a FAQ.

Let's try to keep this thread on the scenarios, and not the viability of a Code of Conduct. If you want to make statements about the viability, create a new thread called "Code of Conduct Viability".

One scenario that happens a lot is a weak needle setting. This obviously creates a slower plane. Do I go high on the course to stay out of people's way, or do I continue in the groove hoping that other pilots will cut out, or my presence will cause them to have to fly around me and maybe cut?
