Good News from AMA. We have received approval to fly up to 700' AGL

Update from the City, they will drop 2 loads of asphalt grindings Monday and weather depending start hauling dirt Tues/Weds. They are expecting to bring in around 800 cu yds of dirt. It get will stockpiled south of the tank area and north of the shelter. We may relocate the shed temporarily to the north side of the shelter while they work through this. I'll know more next week after they start.

All, Just got back from meeting with the City at the flying site. They informed me that they are going to start importing dirt to fill in the low spots on the field within the next couple of weeks. For now they will stockpile in the area east of the shed and then spread it out after they have it stockpiled. SO... through the week you will likely see trucks in and out of there. If the gate is open, leave it open when you leave, unless its after 4pm or so, then close it up and lock it. I've been told that they will have a key (and I will ask them to make sure to daisy chain the locks).
No issues with us using the field while they are trucking the dirt in, but we will likely have to curtail flying some when they start filling in. I'll update more on that once they start.
Other items....they will be trimming back the trees back on the access road to permit the trucks in and out "without tearing off a mirror" so that's another plus for us.
I did ask if they can give us some asphalt grindings and they will see if they can get us a few loads. I asked them to dump it along the edge of the drive and we will take care of spreading it out.
Finally we are about to have the depressions closed up! So please bear with it for awhile. It'll be worth it in the long run!

Last one lasted 15+ years. This one should last as long if not longer.

Happy Memorial Day All!! Field is mowed and weather is beautiful. Light winds and sunny. Couldn’t ask for a better day!

Went out to fly and do a little mowing. If you happen to go out over the next couple days you might notice the roller sitting out in the middle of the field. It decided it didn’t want to roll anymore when to tongue broke. I have the parts and it’s a pretty easy fix. And of course lake CORF is present.
