General MemberYes, I think that drawing stands out, too. It would be great to convert it or one like it into a large mural on a wall of the new shade structure … if there is a large wall on the shade structure.
General MemberJai Pal,
What kind of railing would be required on the observation deck? How high?
General MemberI opt for the trailer, though the punji sticks in the foreground have to go.
The Parthenon is nice but it screams turbulence.
General MemberI’m against external speakers. You always have the option of listening to the chatter with earbuds. With external speakers, you’re forcing other pilots to listen to it whether they want to or not.
General MemberSince winds often turn west at the end of the afternoon, a roof height and design that creates the least turbulence should be the priority.
General MemberLawn Darts!
Time for Mario to drag out his brother’s old glider.
General Member“Going into or being upon” The language is clear.
Pursuant to 16 U.S.C. 551 and 36 C.F.R. 261.50(b), and to provide for public safety and protect natural resources, the following acts are prohibited on National Forest System lands within the Pacific Southwest Region. This Order is effective from September 7, 2020 through September 14, 2020.
1. Going into or being upon National Forest System lands within the National Forests listed below.
a. Inyo National Forest
b. Sierra National Forest
c. Sequoia National Forest
d. Stanislaus National Forest
e. Los Padres National Forest
f. Angeles National Forest
g. San Bernardino National Forest
h. Cleveland National ForestGeneral MemberSynthetic grass, artificial turf is used on high school, college, municipal and professional athletic fields. Also in city parks and commercial installations. There’s a lot of it out there. At some point the stuff has to be replaced. I’m sure the used material would work for AJX. The entire LZ wouldn’t have to be covered. There’d be some work and expense involved putting it down. But the club could stop paying … what is it, $1800 a month for water. And no more pesky gophers and their mounds and divots.
General MemberFire-retardant red. Good color for a glider.
General MemberYears ago, I saw a glider on Kagel launch sporting streamers. Come to find out, the pilot was attempting his first flight in soaring conditions. The streamers were a warning that the pilot was a newbie.
Didn’t see streamers used very often back then, but when I did the message was clear and I kept my distance.
Removed at the discretion of the instructor, streamers may be a good idea for fledgling pilots at AJX.

General MemberThere’s a lot of safety information and site rules on the CSS website and posted at the shade structure but I how many visiting pilots read it? How many even pay the day-use fee?
I’ve talked to visiting PG pilots who landed near the hang glider cone. They were unaware of the landing patterns. And I’m sure many visiting hang pilots don’t know site rules and hazards. Did they even see the info posted at the shade structure? Or bother to read it?
It would help to have a sign at the top of both stairs that can’t be avoided. ALL PILOTS READ THIS. Or something similar that would list basic rules or direct pilots to information posted on the walls of the shade structure.
Haven’t seen the day-use sign-up sheet. Does it show the landing pattern and other info? Along with paying the use fee, could visiting pilots sign a sheet of paper that listed basic CSS safety rules and hazards?
General MemberBoth. Maybe I’m using the wrong term. I think of both a reply and a new topic as a post. Both should appear in the new list. Chronologically. Would help if each reply/post had a subject line.
General MemberPhotos at the top of the WW pages shuffle, if that’s the right term. Be great if the top of the CSS home page cycled through a bunch of different shots.. I’ve seem some great photos taken by CSS pilots and their friends. Change the pics once a week or so.
It would be a way to promote the club. If I lived somewhere else I’d like to see what those lucky Crestline pilots have posted each week.
General MemberNope. We’re talking about adding a third forum list. Leave “Forums” and “Active Topics” the way they are. Add a third list called “Recent Posts”.
That’s the way the old forum worked. Was easy to see all the new post.
I suggest adding a subject line for every post.
Thanks.
General MemberI just clicked on the topic “2020 Bylaw Changes & Vote Discussion” which was on the top of the “Active Topics”. I expected to go to the most recent post. Instead I went to the top of the page. There are twelve posts in that topic. I had to search the dates to find the latest one. I missed it the first time and had to go through them all again.
Obviously this is a big problem in a long thread that has replies to both the topic and individual posts.
Is there a reason you can’t create a chronological list of recent posts?
