bother us!!!

STRONGLY agree.  I fly at 3 fields...one faces East, one South, and one
North.  North is by FAR the preferred orientation (though I happen to
like East because I never fly in the morning...horrible for contests
though).  

The wind will bother you from time to time regardless of how you orient
the field.  The Sun will bother you ALWAYS.

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.

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 ? 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.
