Re: Sparky Motors at Zia Launch Site

[Thomas Beach]

Well, I'm the LCO... Our President is really the RSO (unless he delegates the task temporarily). But I would not be in favor of flying sparky motors at the Zia site, or at least nit during the dry/hot part of the year when fur danger is great. It seems to pose a risk of losing our field... I've seen a couple fires started by sparky motors, and I'd rather we did not do that.
