Field Test of the Arrestor System


I took the arrestor system out to BMF and tried to land the Alpha on it. Try as I might I couldn't land the Alpha on the device, it's just too big. I did come awful close. If I was able to fly from a position in line with the device I think I could do it. The device might be too small even for a small foamie at 2 ft wide. I may double it,  but the idea is to have something easily portable and challenging and making it bigger means, well, bigger, and less challenging. I got one pack of mats for proof of concept, and it actually is really level. I think it will work fine. I am going to continue to try it at 2 ft, see if I can get some of the small foamie guys to shoot landings, and see what they think.
