Can you guys post any numbers, a no. of members say they dont' want anything less than 50 Ft paved with at least 20 ft of smooth grass on both sides.

We agreed to having it at leas 700 ft, with an additional 200 ft of smooth grass.

so 50x700 ft is going to be the minimum, now to ask around, it appears half the cost is just the prep work,

searching online people are estimating $1.80-$2.00/sq foot for asphalt pavement 2" (I think this would be fine for rc planes)

so 50x700 x 2.0 = $70,000.00 [] perhaps over 10 years that's about $7,000.00/year not too bad....
