My version of the Fence Post will make it's first flight at BattlePark today. It will get 900 - 1000 ft on an AT J350W. I made a chute out of an old nylon beach umbrella so I'm hoping the +- 20 ft/sec with the upper section touching down first will allow the bottom half to come down without breaking the fan blades off. The fan blades did come from a 5 bladed fan so I have a spare. Fingers crossed this isn't a one and done flight.
I can't take credit for this idea. I saw a similar fence post fly at the first HPR launch I ever attended back in 2003 at BattlePark. I've never seen that one, or another one at a launch again so I thought it was time I built one.
