  I've heard about the Kansas wind indicator. 

  A 6x6 post with a logging chain attached to the top. You don't stop flying unless the links start snapping of the end. :-)

    I want the sun out of the way. I could care less about the wind as it
    changes daily. If the wind gets over 10 mph they don't fly anyway. :-)

    That issues may be trued if only catering to experienced /competent, pilots
    but if field is also being used by inexperienced and pilots just learning
    then wind direction is a big issue IMHO.

    I would definitely lay it out facing north rather than worrying about the
    wind. Much easier to deal with a crosswind occasionally than it is not be
    able to fly part of a day because of the sun.

    What direction is the prevailing wind in relation to runway orientation?

    In the process of laying out a field for Pattern and IMAC, along with normal
    flying. I attached a crude drawing in paint. What do you guys think? Any
    improvements? The runway paralles an access road that is dirt and is only
    used for driving around the property during the week and not much then. Over
    flight area is about 300 acres and the nearest house is about ½ mile out
    center and none on either end. The field faces almost due north so sun will
    not be a problem. I proposed a 80x600 runway of smooth grass with somewhat
    smooth over runs.
