It's funny that you say that, Jim, because I did try (very hard) to bring this to the attention of the club back when it happened. I was poo-poohed and told that it wasn't a problem for anyone else & that I needed to let it go or the city might take the site away! Needless to say, I wasn't thrilled by the response I got.

However, I still try to get others to stop flying there and come out to the much safer & more relaxing (to me, anyway) site and fly with us. That was what I was doing when I heard of this incident in the first place form one of the folks that flies there. There have been a few converts, but most others consider it "too far to drive", "inconvenient", or "grass is just too hard on my planes" (I just love that last one & ask them how kind the pavement is to their props!). I doubt that it would ever be possible to convert everyone unless the city closed the field and forced them to find another site; it's just to convenient to most of the folks who fly there. It's convenient for all of the other recreational facility users as well & that's where the problem starts! I'll just keep trying to pick away folks one at a time and hope that that old shampoo commercial was right!

BTW, I am looking forward to one of our new converts to the site; I missed seeing his 50% Edge 540 Saturday as he was giving a good show for the owner of the field! It will be neat to check it out up close & personal to see all of the differences between it and his usual planes (all of which have been gorgeous, he's an excellent builder!). Our host was so impressed that he got out his RV-4 and flew around a bit for their viewing pleasure! He did this the last time I was out as well; it's making me think about building one of Hobby Hangar's RV-7 kits... So many planes, do little time!
