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.<SPAN><DIV><image.gif></DIV></SPAN> </SPAN></FONT></FONT><P align="center"><FONT size="5"><FONT face="Times New Roman"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16px"> <HR align="center" width="100%" size="2"> </SPAN></FONT></FONT> </P><P><FONT face="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12px"><BR></SPAN></FONT><FONT size="5"><FONT face="Times New Roman"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16px">_______________________________________________<BR>NSRCA-discussion mailing list<BR><A href="mailto:NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</A><BR><A href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion">http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</A> </SPAN></FONT></FONT> </P><P align="center"><FONT size="5"><FONT face="Times New Roman"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16px"> <HR align="center" width="100%" size="2"> </SPAN></FONT></FONT> </P><P><FONT face="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12px"><BR></SPAN></FONT><FONT size="5"><FONT face="Times New Roman"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16px">No virus found in this incoming message.<BR>Checked by AVG Free Edition.<BR>Version: 7.5.446 / Virus Database: 268.18.11/721 - Release Date: 3/13/2007 4:51 PM<BR></SPAN></FONT></FONT></P></BLOCKQUOTE><FONT face="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12px"><BR> <HR align="center" width="95%" size="3"> </SPAN></FONT><FONT size="2"><FONT face="Monaco, Courier New"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10px">_______________________________________________<BR>NSRCA-discussion mailing list<BR><A href="mailto:NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</A><BR><A href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion">http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</A><BR></SPAN></FONT></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE><FONT size="2"><FONT face="Monaco, Courier New"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10px"><BR></SPAN></FONT></FONT> <DIV>Ê</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><SPAN><DIV><image.gif></DIV></SPAN><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">_______________________________________________</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">NSRCA-discussion mailing list</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><A href="mailto:NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</A></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><A href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion">http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</A></DIV> </BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR></BODY></HTML>
