Wood chip truck

At some point we're going to have to get back to the mundane topics involved in operating Fort Funston, so I'll start off with something super straightforward to ease our way back in.

We have too many piles of chips, and the "chips" have so much greenery in them that they end up molding, dusting and eventually leaving a slimey later on our gliders.

IF YOU SEE A DUMP TRUCK dropping more chips on launch, please let someone on the Funston exec know the company name and, if possible, phone number. You can also ask the truck driver to hold off for a month and, even then, to only give us brown bits - no green.

Thanks,

Daniel

A couple other things....
I've seen a few pilots launch with that truck on launch :( I can't think of what a blown launch into the side of that truck would feel like....
Also when landing, if that truck is anywhere up wind of you it just might make a nice rotor so keep an eye on it when flying....just some thoughts.
