I used to fly with a bunch of "glider only" groups back when the only launches were by bungee or winch. Back then, glider flyers and power flyers couldn't really mix without conflict. And the glider fields ran very differently than power fields do. And because of that, the glider field I flew at very often saw lawn chairs and such. And because of that, we did quite a bit of "lawn chair" experimentation. That is to say, we tried out lots of different types of chairs.

The ones that worked out best were two different kinds of "best".

The best glider flying chairs are Adirondack type. Their backs slope and are tall enough that they support your head when looking UP. But they're dead wrong for power field use. And I only mention them to introduce the other "best" chairs. Because they wouldn't be good things to have sitting out on the flight lines at power fields.

There are a couple of lines of folding chairs that would be good for "special use" at power fields. Most folding chairs are made too low or too hard to get out of. The ones that are good aren't hard to get out of. The ones we found to work best were aluminum tube with canvas that stretched firmly. They are decently rigid when opened so are easy to grab and run with. And easy to get out of if you need to grab them and run. And because they're decently rigid, it's easier to get out of them.

Unfortunately, I gave mine to a buddy when I moved away from that glider field or I'd look at the mfg tag and post a picture. But I've been meaning to find a duplicate or two for my "new" club. We've got a couple of older guys who would benefit from their use. Now I got a good reason to start looking again.
