Potential New Field

[Norman Poti]

Guys,

Last year while flying at Tom Boice's farm we had a visitor from Caesar Creek Township.  Mr Andy Bledsoe is a trustee of that Township and inquired if we would like to utilize their Township Park for our flying activities.  The Park is at 2034 E Spring Valley Paintersville Road in Xenia, Ohio 45385. For reference that is 4 miles south of Tom Boice's residence on Route 68.  You can see pictures of the facility including the clubhouse with a google search.  Several members of the DARTs and Moss Clubs visited that facility after the recent News Year fun fly.  The facility and field appear adequate with only one close neighborhood house.  The members who congregated there put in place initial plans for conducting an initial contest there this coming April.  However there are power lines going down the road next to that facility.  To lend some perspective I studied the distance to power lines from several fields which resulted in the following:

Twin Towers 780 feet, House Mountain Rc Knoxville 640 Feet, Havner Park Columbus 670 feet, Caesar Creek Township 340 feet.

  

Therefore the question before the groups is this.  Knowing that the new proposed field in Caesar Creek Township has 340 foot distance to telephone pole power lines,  should we pursue it as a flying site.  For wind reference the lines are south west of the flying site. Let me know what you think.  Thanks.

Go for it. We can have a limbo contest after the contest. And you also forgot to mention the dunk contest during lunch since there's a basketball rim.

How about asking for a (1) day authorization, some of us can gather and actually fly there, no comp, just sport, and see how they come into play? 

FWIW, Saturday looks like a good day, and Sunday looks even better.

The more options we have the better to register as flying sites is an investment as you never know if we will be shut out from our existing sites any time in the future. We are all sensible enough to work with any potential hazards. James

MOSS is $20 and can be sent to Gilbert Perez at 8850 Sedona Ct. Lewis Center, OH. 43035. Darts is $25 and I cannot remember who it is.

In looking at the Google Maps satellite view, it looks great.  Hard to tell from the satellite view which area is under consideration.  A hazard over a football field away, shouldn’t be a big issue.  We all fly at fields with hazards of one type or another.  I’ll happily show up for a contest there and appreciate the efforts to check it out. 

On another topic It would help if I knew where to send 2021 dues for MOSS and DARTS; still $20 or ?

Thanks all; stay safe and warm

I don't much care about the wires. Yes, they are a hazard. As are buildings, trees, cornfields, and other stuff.

As pilots it's our responsibility to make sure that we avoid hazards and frankly we do it pretty well. Except for the trees.

I think we should certainly try an initial contest there. As mentioned the more potential flying sites the better. Just need to have awareness of the hazards.

When I fly at my inlaws farm I have wires 60' on one side that I have to fly under to land. And another set along the road 120' away.
