Are there any rules as to when we are allowed to fly at the field in the spring? I live really close and got some planes ready to go. If we get a warm day, can we fly or do we stay away until it is completely dry so as not to damage the road and parking area?

Not my usual MO to ask, more of a beg for forgiveness after the deed is done kid of guy Grin

Can fly year round, just not before 9am.
And stay away from the houses to the right, near our roadway.

Cheers,
Marc

Greg, be very careful of the road way. Once the moisture is out and the mud is dry, good to go. Having to go find someone who can pull your car out of the muck is bad form and we try very hard to avoid that. Aside from the lost car, you can do damage to the road.  Smiley
Everything seems to drain to that area just below the entry to the mowers, and that lower area from there around the bend across the flat to the left turn can be bad.

Ran a couple tanks of gas through the motor on my Ultra Stick at home today, working great at this point. Should have gone to the field in hindsight as it was really nice here this afternoon. Would have be a good afternoon to get out.

Wasn’t really worried about getting stuck on the road to the field Sandy but was just making sure there weren’t any unwritten rules preventing us from going to the field early in the year.
Maybe next Sunday if conditions permit.
