Default I just bought a private field!

I just bought a private grass strip that is 2000'x 250' and it has a house and a 36x36 garage on it! I am stoked. I will not have to take the wings off to travel anymore. Roll it out, gas it up, and let er rip!

Default Re: I just bought a private field!

The houses at the bottom are no less than 3500' away... It's over 10 acres and some change. It's long and skinny property. The guy next to me is buying a Maule.... he's going to fly on his land or mine one... we are working out the liability issues.

lots of houses close by. Maybe to close. You know there will be a DF whinning about the noise. Non RC folks just dont know how to have fun.
