The runway paralles an access road that is dirt and is only<BR>used for driving around the property during the week and not much then. Over<BR>flight area is
about 300 acres and the nearest house is about ½ mile out<BR>center and none on either end. The field faces almost due north so sun will<BR>not be a problem.
