RE: YOUR LOCAL FLYING FIELDS...POST A PIC!!!
Nice thread Jaskel,
This is my local field. About two soccer fields side by side in size but the downside is that it's bordered by two main roads and two rows of houses very close over the fence. Plenty of room to fly parkies but I did manage to destroy my Stryker when I lost orientation and it crashed through the trees and out onto the road. Shortly after it hit the ground, and just before I got over to it, the Stryker had an unfortunate meeting with a delivery truck and ended up as a pile of crushed foam and servos!!
It's located in Bass Hill and is only 5 minutes from my house.
Cheers
Todd

The soccer field center left is in front of our house, can walk down with my foamies, when calm, the lake is a perfect slope for waterplanes

RE: YOUR LOCAL FLYING FIELDS...POST A PIC!!!
I'm lucky to have a friend who got into RC electrics with us and owns A BUNCH of land about fifteen miles from me. There is a group of five or six of us (all friends before we even got into electric RC) who fly at his place. This is just one of some five or six fields (I've only seen two!) on his land, hidden inside the woods on his property. I hear there are two others that are even bigger than this one but this is our prefered spot. You hang a left at the farm house and drive your car through the woods and over a small bridge on a creek. It's tucked away, we can pull our cars and trucks right into it, and there aren't any houses or people to bother us. Plenty of room to fly, get drunk, and camp out without rules or club snobs telling us how not to have fun.
What you see is a sequence of pictures from left to right of this one field. We fly in another one as well that is even bigger than this one (Depending on which crop is in what field. One is in soybean while the other is corn every year. Soybean makes for some soft landings). Both fields are great, and if for some reason we don't want to fly in these anymore we can always check out his three or four others. I feel blessed.
PS- It's a little wet after a hard rain and he has yet to plow it for the soybean so the weeds are getting up a little at the moment. Notice the bulldozer in the first photo. He's going to flatten and pack us a runway. Nice to have friends with money, just wish I had some.

Three more, again...left to right to finish off the view. There are two identical trucks in these photos, one is on the left and one is on the right, to clear up any confusion. Last is of the path we drive in on.

lol.. google earth hasn't updated their info lately... according to google, the field I fly at doesn't even have roads going to it yet... they put them in 5 years ago! It just shows a big area with tree-filled fields and orchards on it! doh!
