Title: We had some visitors to our NVCL field today...
Post by: Scott Richlen on July 25, 2014, 03:28:22 PM: One of them seemed interested, but when I offered a training flight, she declined.

Well, if nothing else, the field is all mowed and ready for Saturday flying. It looks good doesn't it?

Get the gun!

Yep, can't understand why horse people need to bury there horse legs 6-8 inches deep in early spring at our circles. Then the ultimate, four wheelers like to do donuts on the circles. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

By the way, we have this field on Friday, Saturday, and Monday to fly on, so if any of you ever come to the DC area, bring a plane!

Post by: Larry Fruits on July 26, 2014, 02:42:10 PM: It's pretty common to see deer at Buder Park in St. Louis. I even had one run through the circle, while flying one evening with my son several years ago. Gets your attention real fast. y1 y1 y1

I think that our NVCL Club Mascot should get together with Spencer. Maybe he can get some pointers from Spencer on deer confrontation.

And then again, maybe not.

Looks like you found out about the horse pads for a takeoff ramp too. Cheaper than concrete, huh?

Post by: Scott Richlen on July 27, 2014, 11:40:15 AM: Yes, they really work well. After many years of use, we had to re-level them this spring. It just took a couple bags of sand and a little sweat. Otherwise, they are trouble free and work great. I wish I could claim it was my idea, but I think it was Chris Jackson who supplied them.
