Hi there all..

I´m a danish R/C pilot and club-chairman who are forced to find a new airfield as the new landowner does not have room for us. A kind of pitty as it is one of the best airfields in the country. OK, maybe a bad situation, but I would rather turn it around and get positive - This gives us a possibility to make an even better airfield, striving for the best airfield in the country.

I could use some help here. If your airfield has a particular nice layout, and you have some pictures os it, I would like to see it. Im thinking of airfield in style of the Tucson airfield (TIMPA). How did you make your pilotstations, pitareas, ramadas, worktables etc.

An airfield is more than a place to fly modelaircrafts. It´s a place you come to relax, and in our club you even bring the wives and children and doing alot of barbecuing.

Best Regards

this field is primarily the fruit of the efforts of a bunch of "Old Farts".... and a great job they have done!!!

classclown · 08-23-2009, 11:04 PM

Hey Mith, awesome field!!! One question, where is it, and do you guys ever have problems with dust in the motors? Are you anywhere near New Cuyama?

extra330ss · 08-23-2009, 11:06 PM

Located in Hesperia Ca.

Well.. if there is wind, there can be dust, but it is a fairly clean environment as we fly off of petromat.....

hey sorensen if you ever move to new jersey you can fly at my field, its really nice and i think its the nicest field in south jersey. theres only 3 other guys besides me that fly gasers and all 4 of us are the 3d guys that all the old guys get mad at. heres a counter clock wise panoramic view

3dAndrew · 08-24-2009, 05:11 PM

That fence looks tempting..............Lol...........man you guys have some nice fields! I doubt that where i fly at is worthy of this competition! Just Kidding.....Its ok......

danielph · 08-24-2009, 05:44 PM

Louu, that field is gorgeous! It's also cheating to fly there. I fly at home here, but I have trees everywhere, and the ground is so rough and un even, if you miss the 280x25' runway, it's like missing an aircraft carrier... lol

classclown · 08-24-2009, 11:26 PM

Crap, that field is flatter than flat!!! Louu, where the hell is that field? My brother lives at the beach in Brigantine. I'm supposed to be out there for a week in about two weeks. I'll help you guys piss the OFs off with another gasser at the field.
