Turbine Policy at Lums Pond RC Flying Field

 The density of the woods on the north and on the east sides of the runway inhibits the ability to rapidly extinguish a fire

  Fire apparatus would take at least half-an-hour to arrive.

 At a membership meeting, the club expressed the concern that no more turbines be allowed unless adequate fire extinguishing methods are provided

  Runway position and line of sight make for poor operating conditions relevant to turbine operation.

There are several present members who are wavered turbine pilots that are "grandfathered" permission to fly.

It is hereby decided that in the interest of safety no new operators be allowed to fly turbines at the field, with the exception of those participating in the Warbirds over Delaware show.
