Any one know where to buy a Winsock for an rc field. Don't want a full size one > Any one know where to buy a Winsock for an rc field. Don't want a full > size one Anyone with able to use a sewing machine should be able to make one, if you don't want full size. I think you will find a smaller one will not behave as a full sized wind sock, though. The material would have to be so light weight, it would not stand up to a full sized blow. What is wrong with having a full sized one? But no, sorry, I don't know of a source.  SignatureJim in NC >Any one know where to buy a Winsock for an rc field.

I even got one of their 'mailbox' size and use it on a pole attached to my trailer at the field - mostly for novelty but it does a pretty good job.

How about a few feet of video tape on a tall stick? :) mk >Lots of good answers here so... >How about a few feet of video tape on a tall stick? >:) >mk Well I have shot many videos of many different subjects, but I never saw the need to take one of a tall stick... :) On the subject of win(d) socks, a couple of years ago some really dumb wasps decided to build their nest in the one at our field. It was about half way down the length of it and yes, it was subject to all the swings and flops a wind sock goes through. It ended up being a pretty good size nest before the season was out. It was actually kinda funny to watch the sock on a breezy day. There would be four or five wasps flying in formation on an approach to the small end of the sock fighting the head wind and the constantly shifting sock opening.. It didn't last through the winter and by next season it was gone. They must have wised up because they didn't build another nest in there...

When you mention fullsize, that can range through a variety of possibilities from 12" to 120" .... so how about a length ? > Any one know where to buy a Winsock for an rc field.
