Default Tallahassee Fl Flying Sites?

SRCC has been waiting for years for the landfill to close (for houshold garbage) contigent on building a garbage transfer station. That's almost behind us now (the transfer station is sited and under construction I believe); and the solid waste administrator is sympathetic and promises to include plans for the club in his closout plan.

The most likely spot is Cell A due east of the present flying site (The large open area seen in the photos). It is unsuitable for ball fields due to the slopes, but perfect for RC (landing top of the hill).

The club is still waiting on word when the plan will be developed, but we're dreaming about a runway suitable for large scale R/C and jets (an that field will have the room).

If you are interested, I have a TOPO map in .DWG file format of the entire site (including contours). E-mail me and I'll send it to you.
