RE: Field Equipment

Besides what has been mentioned I always carry a first aid kit and a fire extinguisher.
I have bandaged up a few fingers that wandered into the prop arc and once put out a grass fire at the field.

RE: Where do you get your lead?

I went to the local metal scrap yard and got about 40 lbs of lead in sheets for about $2.00.
I can melt a little down anytime I need some.

RE: Field Interference?

Here's a thought:

Grass cuttin' and sponsorship

Burning fuel

I guesstimate that I have used about 20 gallons of "Realflight" sim fuel. Does that count in this meaningless topic?

wagner paint sprayer?????

I'd blow paint thru a soda straw before I'd use a Wagner product again. It's just a waste of money and time. Invest in a quality airbrush and you'll have something that gives good results for years.

Anybody make their own sandbags?

I tried sand; you are right, it leaks out everywhere. I went to lead shot from a sporting goods store. I can't sew either so I used a 'hot glue" gun to make bags about 4 inches square and some bigger...

What annoys you most?!

Very slow, creeping along, hands clenching the wheel, white-haired drivers too dim to move into the slow lane. (and yes, I have white hair but know enough to drive at least the speed limit)

I know...

For you workshop and none workshop owners, this is a good one.

Ahhh, now that's just mean!
I think we'd have a good time; build a few planes, drink a cold brew once in awhile, and I promise not to turn you in.

I'm not too sure about that working at 7.00 am ...

Iraqi Drone, can it fly past 93 miles?

I have taught a lot of folks to fly and I would recommend you get a regular trainer to get someone going.
