How to make a windsock mast

Post by rs54263 »

Congratulations to those pilots that won brand new wind socks in the fly-in raffle. I promised that I would post instructions for building a wind sock mast; then I remembered: I already did that, 6 years ago, when I wrote an article in Skyline:

That article is a little out-of-date however; I've made some improvements to the design since then, so send me a private message and I'll tell you about the improvements.

It was good to see you again Ralph and to meet your wife at The Fly-In.
Cheers, Shawn.

Hey Ralph,

I'm sure the club misses you and your fantastic photographs. Any chance you will get back into the sport?

Yes, there's a chance... :-)

I'm out for this year, but I'm going to try very hard to get back in the air next Spring.
