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.<IMG src="cid:3256802500_21735634"> </SPAN></FONT></FONT>
