The lock on the field won’t lock

There is an old lock on the chain in addition to the one we use. So there is confusion at times about which to use. (Sometime we'll have to get a portable grinder tool out there that can cut through its hardened steel). In the mean time David Duhaime said he will 'magic marker' the old lock to indicate it isn't the one to use.

3/4” impact driver

The tie down anchors are going to be hard to install. I welded a lug nut on the end and got part way into the ground with my 1/2” driver before it stalled out. I think a 3/4” will work.


Does anyone have one?


Here’s what the anchors for the canopy look like:

If noone has a 3/4 impact driver I think one can be rented at Ato Z rental, or a home depot tool rental.

Canopy suggestion

With the help of AI, I analyzed the canopy for a 60mph wind load and generated results for max rope tension and pipe buckling margins. Here is a screenshot of the recommended Home Depot hardware.


The analysis considers uplift and lateral wind loads.

This is the cost of a 20’ x 30’. Will have to check if a 10’ width will cover adequately.

Fixing my xplorer wing

Does anyone have any Carboweave CW30? I need a couple small strips 1” wide by 10” long. I’ll buy it from you.

Ok, since nobody had any carboweave I can spread the small tow pieces myself.

Now I’m looking to borrow a vacuum pump for bagging the wing repairs. Anyone have one?
