[quote="crazedpilot"]If I can make this work Rob you'll have no issue with your terrain features...... it's 500ft, 15% at the top and it ends
into the dining room window. Good part is I have no drainage issues and can take off year round outside of haying season.

Looking forward to your successes it's a great great feeling to have the ability to land at home! ~CRAZED

Now that's the way an airstrip should look! If you ever get out west stop by my place, you'll feel right at home!

yea.. Spot-landing method is definately a requirement here. Youre place??? I'll be there! You're not far from us!

Oh, I now see you're based in Oregon..... so make that "if you ever get out east"! PM'd you.

Have any time next week to kills some trees now that your back Rob?

The saw is sharp and ready to go.

You bet: any day not raining. Monday and Tuesday look super. I'm ready!

Cheers

Lets shoot for Tuesday. Heading down to central Oregon tomorrow and won't be back until Monday.

Tuesday it is. After you drop the big ones I think we'll have time to fly to lunch if you have time that is.

Hey Matt: I think the tree falling should wait till the wind subsides. The big one will blow onto the neighbors property.

Sounds like a plan. Felling trees and east winds don't mix.

Going out to cut some small stuff now. Making steady progress.

Good day

I am off Saturday and have a four day next week if you want me to still drop the big ones.

The big ones are yours Matt. I dropped around 15 today. Looks like any day but Tuesday is fine with me. Let me know what is best for you. We don't need to work in the rain.

Cheers

Been making steady progress. I have made a heck of a mess. Anybody need free fire wood? Bring your saw and truck. I will have to help you out with the tractor so know where to hook the chain up front. You can use my hydraulic splitter. Most rounds halved is just the right size. So easy to handle size.

The charge is to put all the branches from your tree/s in a pile so I can burn them.

Good day

Well if the rain lets up I will be down Friday to kill some trees.

Making good progress. Cut down another 10 trees today. We moved a nice Pink Dogwood that was in the way. Around 20 more to cut and then the culvert.

The hay is gone. Now the culvert. Chain saw 5 more trees and it is time.
yee haw

This place is scary, confirmed byM7flyer. You will need to be here to doc for the NTSB and FAA

Congrats Rob! Getting closer! I'll have to overfly and check it out soon....
