Speaking of dogs

Here's some pictures of damage caused by dogs on Lake Elsinore Soaring
Club's 233 fleet. Not a pretty sight. Anyone have any ideas on how to
discourage this dog behavior. We believe they are chasing rabbits that
have crawled into the gliders through the wheel wells. __Mike

Uses ultrasound to scare dogs off, or if you want
some comedy value put of it:

similar thing but uses water.


Failing that, just watch Home Alone for a few ideas
(paint cans n strings or heated doornobs anyone? ;-)
)

Or just tie a torch to a 12-guage and get a rotating
bar stool..... ;-D (Think a buckshot lighthouse)

Tucson Soaring Club went through this about 30 years ago. After
several repair cycles, we finally built a chain link fence enclosure
for the 2-33's.

My first thoughts were 22-250 or .223, but you wouldn't want to risk
shooting the glider.
Call animal control and get live traps. Does your insurance company
have any ideas?

To keep the lions and hyenas from eating the tires of our planes in
East Africa when we parked them overnight at game parks, we used to
spray aerosol bug repellant on them. Maybe a similar tactic would keep
the rabbits out of the gliders? Or some other such repellant? Fred

If the dogs were trying to get to the rabbits, then the solution to the
problem is not deterring the dogs, but rather the rabbits. Have you
tried putting bags of moth balls in the gliders?
