I have the PVC type which work well. That said, I want to try the rope idea.

Default Marshalling wand

I bought one of the bright orange triangular marshalling wands, cut it in half and have a lightweight pair with no denting corners.
Think the idea came from here...

Mel,
This is off topic but have followed your posts for a while and would like details on your 0-320 rebuild. Know you're at OSH, when you get an opportunity. I have a couple of mechanics who are very willing to oversee my work. Looking for info on which cylinders, pistons (9-1), connecting rod prep. Currently the engine has dual Lightspeed ignition, no vacumn system, lightweight starter, and rebuilt carb. Thanks for your consideration.

These have proven to be a really popular product line for us. They are a bit more expensive than some of the other suggestions, but they look really neat. And, no one is going to steal them, because they are custom engraved for your aircraft.

Thanks for your continued support and business,
