This is a plane restraint system that has been in effect at Charlotte Radio Control Society, Hudson Field.
The system was set up and installed by Jim McClary and has proven to be extremely effective for the last several years.

Strong enough to hold any size model plane
(Common sense tells us not to start our planes at elevated throttle settings)

"Caution"

  The Restraints are made from PVC pipe. The pads are plastic air conditioner pads, but with a simple form, concrete is easy enough to do.

  1-3/4" sockets are set in concrete at about 18" deep. The spacing for ours is approximately 3-1/2'.
The overall height is dependant upon your needs.
We have used ours for some of the largest planes out there.
