Default RE: New Rules

Well, I had to check to see if the local church was still standing before I posted this but .... here it is.....

I agree with Ken on this one....

....

Ok, I said it.

I also find the carry-out rule ludicrous and generally ignored, for good reason. My local club attempted to address the issue in another way. They erected fences behind the pilot stations....

I must admit I had issues with this before actually tying it but, once I actually experienced it, I think it was a good idea. The fences are set back far enough that I'm not concerned about backing into them, and are built to protect from multiple angles (basically a V shape). It addresses the potential of being taxiied into while flying by some out of control aircraft, while not creating any additional hazards of trying to carry a 55lb bomber with engines running![X(]
