Do any of the online retailers sell those stakes with the foam on them that you can use to stick into the ground to keep your plane in place while doing engine runs/preflight checks. I haven't been able to find any online. Or maybe someone knows of a good way to make a set. I know I'll proabably need some foam and dowel rod. But I'm just curious to see whats out there.
G'day Mate,
Over here in Australia, we use these, see pix, they are 1/2" stainless rod, with a blunt point, & air conditioning insulation around em, drive in the ground, at a slight angle back towards the plane & they will keep most planes safe, no more running forward accidentally.
They are manditory in our club.
