Daves Place |
Up |
Dave lives here, and he flies R/C planes too, and he's nice enough to let other modelers fly here as well. Unfortunately, he's trying to sell the land, so it may not last much longer.
Current weather for Dave's Place can be found here.
From the air, it looks like this (we fly from the north side of that little loop in the middle of the map.)
pict1037 This is at the top of the hill, looking down. This is where you stand and fly. The middle of this picture is roughly NNW, so this is a good place to fly with NNW -> N winds. |
pict1038 This is roughly looking west. I guess a westerly wind would be ok for flying too. |

pict1044 This is almost looking south (the middle of the picture is probably SSW.) You can just make out Mansfield Dam (where the water ends.) |

pict1046 I think that's Dave's house. |

pict1048 This day I was the only person out here, but I've been here with 8 people flying at once. You end up with quite a few mid-air collisions -- it's fun! (these planes handle it just fine.) |
pict1049 In case you were wondering, this is St. Lukes on the Lake. |

Z-daves-place-is-closed Alas, Dave sold the property, and a house was built down below anyways, so we can't fly here anymore. It will be missed. |
