RE: Need ideas for finding a flying filed? PLEASE HELP!
Eagle, When you make the fliers and talk (key is to talk to them) to the airport people do you give them the advantages they will see over and above the money you pay in rent?
Small airports usually are unmanned having modelers there will provide more manned hours reducing the vandalism. Also with more manned hours if someone does get hurt the probability of having someone there to get help form is greater. As an added bonus modelers know silly little things like don't smoke around planes, you don't push just anywhere on a plane to move it, etc.. Many small airports do not have sanitary facilities, saggest you would never restrict the use of the clubs port-o-john.
Farmers will see less crop damage due to birds. Also have someone on hand to help with emergency's and also provide more attended field security. The rent would cover the taxes on a much larger parcel of land.
By doing this you become a partner and if you go away they loose much more than just those toy planes.
Just my two cents
