RE: Land Fills and Runways
Have to try this again. My previous post got lost on upload. My club flys from a sealed and covered flyash dump. It's at the top of a 40 or 50' hill. It has an active farm on one side, a Metroparks bike trail, two sealed sanitary landfills, an active sanitary landfill, and a semi protected wetland on two other sides. We have a runway approximately 100' X 450'. The cover is thick enough to have let us put up a flagpole and a windsock. We have about 40 or 50 acres to the East to fly over. Closest neighbor is the property owner, almost 1000' away. Area around our area is usually planted in soy and winter wheat. We fly anything from micro ERC to 40% scale and Turbines. Also when there's no RC flying going on, some of us fly CL, FF, and Rockets. We have a very good relationship with the property owner.
