About the Field
A little information
We have a grass runway 700' in length and 60' in width that is mowed every week to a height that makes it usable by all aircraft except those with small wheels. We perform maintenance on it in the fall when we can expect rain for the fertilizer and/or seed. The approaches are long and you can setup on final with no obstructions. Roll out is long and smooth with the flight stations being located in the middle of the runway.
The runway is situated in about 10 acres of hay that the landowner harvests several times a year, thereby keeping it relatively short. This makes it easier to find "parts" should they become "loose" when flying. There are 3 large shade structures with one of them housing a charging station. We power the charging station with a generator since the cost to install electricity to the remote area is prohibitive.
