Bear traps might be more effective discouraging the little varmints from running through the launch circle! We could rename it the \"Circle of Death\" :lol:

I like Circle of Death maybe we could give the LCO a paintball gun? How many paint ball hits before they are ejected.

I like what Ken does currently. If he catches a child going through the circle, then they have to wait out a \"penalty\" of a round or two of flights before theirs is launched. He did this in July to a child, and I know it upset the child and his father for it happening, but that kid never went through that circle again either.

Me too. It would be easier just to put up the string of flags on the posts of the low power pads like we used to.

What, no strong feelings on Senior Advisor?

The penalty box is only necessary as we don\'t have any whips in the trailer. Could we get a grant for that?

We\'ve done the flags on the launch posts sometime in the past few years and there was a concern about them catching fire. Maybe if we have a string that is long enough and the necessary quick-posts, we could put something a few feet in from the pad circle (with a notch for Dan\'s RC Glider set up).

Mr. Katan never signed on as the chairman, so I could not assume the co-chair position ;-) BTW, congrats on running a successful campaign Mr. Blade and Mr. Wadsworth.

Really? We should try it again. I wouldn\'t think there should be an issue. If so, we need bigger blast deflectors then, or use the green posts which are taller, which is exactly how the range was set up in 1997. -Alan
