I already found a place that makes custom flags sent the the COAR15 logo at the top and they are supposed to get back to me in the next day or two. Sounds like it will be around $160. We will need a stand and pole though will let everybody know what they say.

That was for a 3X5 if you want bigger let me know.

Dunno, 3X5 is plenty big (maybe too big if we want to put the Stars & Stripes above it), since we're talking a comparatively short pole if it's going to be easily transported. I'm definitely in to help with flag & pole costs.

Also, Ryan, I'm good for a couple patches if you do this.

As far as the length of the pole, We can make it out of PVC plastic pipe w/ threaded connections (4)- 4' lengths should make a nice light weight very portable 16' foot pole. The base can be anchored to the ground W/ spikes and use ropes to teather it to the ground. [usa]

Hmmm.

PVC is light, but, tends to snap when cold, and bend under load when hot. It is not UV stable, and will get brittle.

When I was in the SCA, I had a 24 inch SS spike with a couple of rings in one end about 6 inches apart. Driven into the ground so that the bottom ring was about 4 inched above the ground, it would take all but the real heavy winds.
It used a horazantal pole at the top that 1 large banner banner or 2 smaller banners ( 1 on each side of the main pole ) could be hung from. It had a 8-10 main pole, and the 3-4 ft top pole was held in place by a small plate, with 2 more rings and a stud that was welded in place to prevent the small plate from sliding all the way to the bottom of the main pole.
The main pole was 1 1/2 inch closet rod and could be made from wood or better yet fiberglass.
I have the spike some where, and I also have the stand for use in areas where you couldn't drive the spike into the ground ( like parking lots ) - but, it didn't do so well in the wind.

Your right about that Greg ! We should use something like light gauge steel. Poss. 1" to 1 1/2" Dia. What do you think? :?:

If we can find it, fiberglass would be best.

Prehaps the telescoping handle from a pole saw.

Or fairly cheap would be one of those telescoping poles for painting ceilings.

Dern, I gotta type all this again :evil: I will check on a flag/sign this week. My "Dragon Arms Full Auto Shooting Team" sign only cost 50-60$. See the "What do you dream about?" thread in the photo gallery. Also, there is a place here(Springs) that I had the "Rocky Mountain Fifty Caliber Shooters Assn." WWW.RMFCSA.ORG" :mrgreenatches done. They were 2.00$ apiece,BUT, you have to order at least 100. I would be willing to front the $$$ to have patches made,(and you pay me when you get 'em) if the interest is there.Ryan

Ryan,
There is a place right over by us that deos t-shirts, hats etc. I use them for my pizza shop. They have really good rates less than 10 shirt no screen costs. I'd be interested in a few shirts and patches. Maybe we could set somthing up and go in on some. I think there is an interest and would be willing to help.
