[NSRCA-discussion] New Field lay out Advice

[R. LIPRIE]

Well that's how it was in the South.  For a month or two.  Was wondering if the rain cloud would ever leave the top of your head.

    The Sun?? What is that?? Here in upstate NY we don't see it enough to bother us!!!


  As an upstate New York native, I was going to mention that, but decided that it was too cruel.  The good news is that, even though the sun may not shine from November to March, it's also too cold to fly anyway.

      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.

        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 ¸ 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.
