Gemfan Pop Up Race Gate Stabilizer

I was annoyed that the gates are very easily blown over, even with a little wind. Designed these stabilizers and they work really well! Tested them racing with 5-6 bft winds, not a single problem with these gates! Flight video during the windy day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jf15o_vN2Wg I don't know how long they will last, have only tested them for 1 full day. They seem to hold up just fine. Printed in PLA, other materials would maybe last a little longer. To use them, you can really easily pop them on to the fiberglass pole and slide them down from the top, they can't go further down once in place. Use the default pegs and mount it through the one of the holes into the ground, done. You can slide them back up the fiberglass pole before collapsing the gates for transport, and leave them on. It is also possible to detach them completely, just pull them off of the fiberglass pole. You don't need to unscrew anything, really easy to use. Let me know what you think!
