Will there be loaners available @ the Sept 18th @ Amesbury? I may have a few guests attending & they might get interested & want to toss a few up in the air.

TIA - Fred

I think CMASS started a Fly and take program.

If that\'s unavailable just se me (I\'m hard to miss).

I\'ll give ya some loan-a - rockets or some prototypes to test.
I always bring way more than I can fly in one day.

No worries either way.

We used to set up another row of stakes to keep people out of the center but stopped doing it because it was another job that had to be done and it really hasn\'t been that big a problem. We can\'t put the flags on the low power pad posts themselves because it restricts you to working on only one side and there are times when you need to get on the other side to get things aimed properly.

Pick 4 LPR/MPR pads @ 3, 6, 9 & 12 O\'Clock. Run 2 ropes, caution tape, whatever between the 12 & 6 & the 3 & 9, in a \"X\". It\'ll allow work all around the pads & still stop the trespassers. No?

Good point, is 3 feet enough? I\'ll make up some pennants to offset the circle flag line inward 3 feet - no extra posts needed. How does that sound?

SL said: Make an X

Interesting suggestion. Thinking it thru, with the small kids (6 years old or so) they will run into the circle anyway, get to the X, _then_ see the X, then try to run around the X. Older kids and adults would get it tho.
