Additionally, we have also found that it is generally better to give people a way to see the runway so they don't go four wheeling. Therefore, expect to see our rubber white cones for the duration of our stay.Rich Davidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11594451963540379003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272938885495691863.post-27928240860214294292010-05-20T13:27:12.001-04:002010-05-20T13:27:12.001-04:00Hi Rich,

My Stearman 4D is especially blind when landing, and many years ago I actually hit a cone and did some minor damage to the tail. Yes, it was on a very narrow grass runway...probably 30 feet wide...but if there had been flat markers, the airplane would've been OK. Even soft cones can be a problem. Anyway, I just thought I'd add my two cents worth. Ron RexRon Rexhttp://www.opencockpit.netnoreply@blogger.com
