good point paul. so guys, anyone visiting please leave your car on the road below for the time being.

also note that anyone flying there at the moment would be on their own insurance wise as we have done nothing to have the site maac approved yet, so it's probably best to not fly there until we at least let Derek know what we plan on doing and get things organized.

Congratulations on the new field. Should certainly stay a bit drier.

Although it is not a MAAC approved field, I understood the new insurance regs said you are covered if you have the owners permission. So possibly Shawn was properly covered by insurance on his flight, if the owner has given permission.

What would it cost to buy the land and some surrounding it and lease the unused portion back to the existing user for a nominal amount?. This would protect the site for long term use. Over a 20 year mortgage the annual payments might be surprisingly low, with current interest rates.

Just a thought.

While watching Shawn's flight videos you can clearly see how little elevator input is required to affect the flight. The surfaces barely move an 1/8th of an inch maximum during the whole flight, usually it moves an amount you can barely detect. I suspect many of us have way too much throw setup on our planes, if Shawn's is any indicator.

Wish it were a bit closer...bloody gas prices are almost as bad as nitro. Shearwater may be an option, although it seems that there are restrictions regarding civilian flyers. Not sure why, as the base is no longer active. A bit of a wank if you ask me. They should open the land up for such public use, that is why I give those A-holes at CRA 35% of my wages. They have yet to put any of it to good use. Oh, do I sound bitter. Cheesy
