I got to find a place to put our family tents!!

_Lunchbox_ · Mar 06, 2012, 07:23 PM

It is a small yard... you will have a hard time finding a spot for a tent.

powerlines · Mar 06, 2012, 07:25 PM

Yep.. I was hoping for WEs's or Matt's back yard!!!

been growing every year.plenty of planes and flying to see,but laid back as well.

Tha Hodgehound · Mar 08, 2012, 01:04 PM

Usually 50 to 100 pilots I would guess. Really laid back, fly whatever you have type event. Come on down!

I'm going to try to for sure.

I'm an electric only guy so it would probably be my Extreme flight plane and misc others like the funjet, etc... I'd like to try out the pond before SEFF so I'll bring something for that if I come.

Tha Hodgehound · Mar 08, 2012, 02:36 PM

Kewl! Even thought the pond has only a foot or two of water in it right now, it is plenty for a float plane or boat. My boy and I played in it yesterday.

Think it will be fill itself up by SEFF time?

Tha Hodgehound · Mar 08, 2012, 06:09 PM

Depends totally on rainfall...i did hear that they MAY run the irrigation pivot over to it to fill it.

EDFPILOT · Mar 08, 2012, 06:57 PM

They didnt get the well going?

Tha Hodgehound · Mar 08, 2012, 07:04 PM

nope.....gotta get another pump, motor, or whatever it's called. From what I gather, the well will only be to keep topped off due to evaporation any way.

_Lunchbox_ · Mar 08, 2012, 07:38 PM

Yeah. The old pump wasn't cutting it. They are getting a new pump and also putting it deeper so they can make sure it has plenty of water.
The output of the pump will only keep up with evaporation also... the rest will need to come from mother nature..
Or a center pivot irrigator...

Tha Hodgehound · Mar 08, 2012, 07:53 PM

I sure hope it rains...a lot!!! After playin with Buddys sailboat, I am dyin to get mine sailing!!!!!
