NEW FIELD INFORMATION |
|
Slowly our field is taking shape! We now have the gate installed, the runways dug up and smoothed out (waiting for the grass to grow), and recently we had rock delivered for the road and the parking lot. We still have some rock and runway work to go, but people are already flying out there. So, enjoyour new field. We are looking forward to a great 2013!

Proposed Field Design
This is a proposed plan of the field presented to MMRCA at the May General Membership Meeting. The field will be setup based on the ideas presented here. Locations of the runways and other items may be moved based on existing field conditions (drainage ditches, etc.) but ultimately the field should look similar to this.
