New Project Sort of RV Related
Started work on a Grass Strip today. Hopefully it will be usable in a few months. I only have farm equipment to work with, so it's going to take a while to get smooth. Any suggestions on how to are welcome. 
Second project was started but will post in -4 section!

Here is Arkansas the County Extension office rents large rollers to farmers. I don't know if you have one or your County does that but that might be an option.

Is that Donie Reservoir in the background? I usually fly over that area between Dallas and Houston.
Looks like a fun project!

It's Lake Limestone. When you fly over use 122.75,I have my radio on when I;m in the shop working on Props. I'm on the north east side.

drainage, drainage, drainage. That next to a smooth surface of course is probable the most important. You want to protect the ground from developing a rut or puddle if a random thunderstorm comes through while your out flying.

Mowed my 0.457 acre lot today. I'm thankful for what I have, but jealous at the same time.

Roger! That's one my bigger checkpoints on the way. (Or a "you've gone to far" I've never had to use if going to Hilltop Lakes.  )
Great shot too.

Frank,
Sara and I were just up there 3 weeks ago and we were talking about how much we'd like to have a place with an airstrip on Lake Limestone....
As soon as we finish the -10, we'll have to fly up there and see it!
Here is a document you should check out:
ftp://ftp.dot.state.tx.us/pub/txdot-..._airstrips.pdf
Take care,
Phil |
