RE: The end of my Cessna!

Bill, No, we don't have any size limits. We have turbine jets, ( f-15s, fa-18 hornets, Storms, Eurosports, KingCats, etc ) a contingent of IMAC guys with 33% to 40% planes. Eddie has a 46% ultimate biplane. A wide range of gas and glo, plus electrics of all sizes. Our field is 55 acres with a 760+ ft asphalt runway, a separate heli area, electric field, control-line field, plus about 1/2 mile down the road a lake for float planes...(our channel shed for all this is in our main pit area.) Any and all types and sizes of planes can go up at the same time...just with the 5 plane limit) Wednesday afternoons the jet guys usually fly together, so you see several jets up at once. It works well and people take turns, call for landings, touch & go's, take-offs, dead-sticks, and the occasional "look out". Our main instructor teaches while several planes are up...never a problem. Hope this answers most of your questions.

BTW...the largest plane to use the field was a full size Cessna (I believe) a few years ago that made an emergency landing on the runway when it was still only 500 ft long. (the extension was done this past February)
