Title: New CL flying circles: Suggestions/commets?
Post by: frank mccune on October 18, 2016, 06:43:50 AM
      Hello All:

     A local RC club is planning to build an UC circle to attract UC fliers to the club.  What I am seeking is some feedback as to what things worked and what things did not work when your club installed a flying circle.  We have a clean slate from which to begin and it is supposed to be  completely paved.   

    Suggestions/comments?

                                                                                                                                     Tia,

                                                                                                                                     Frank McCune

Ty I know it's early- before enough coffee but I think you mean 90 ft. Radius.  Ours is 85' R.

If the full paved circle turns out to be too much money maybe this would be a cheaper alternative.  This in Vancouver BC.  There is a circle east of Denver, CO with a much narrower paved donut that works very well also.

If they decide that a paved circle is too expensive, at least put down a cement pilot's circle -- in any climate that includes rain, you'll have a mudhole marking the center of the circle if you don't.

Frank.... work backwards from the "Perfect"
to the economically affordable

If Perfect is obtainable...ONLY expend those dollars, IF the venue has some predictable life span
