Although the "freebee" Google Earth website....has rather outdated pictures for many locations, I found out yesteday that my local Windemere Real Estate has an updated prescript' version that has a new down load of GOOGLE EARTH that seems to be considerably improved over the old one that have been using.
We spent some time looking at new construction development land sites here in the Seattle Tacoma, Gig Harbor area and found some pretty interesting building sites...with many streets, large paved parking lots, and best of all...huge turnabout culti-sacks' that should prove to offer some really nice control-line stunt pads, worth investigating.
My son, Ryan...found our local site just a few miles north of my home here in Gig Harbor, that has a beautiful piece of circular piece of black top, that has been unhabited for the past years due to violations of building codes and rules.
According to one of the near bye neighbors, who flies RC...uses those paved streets for a runway.
Bill told us that the builder and contractors are having water issues with the county water planning board...and this property is still under litigation. Although he has flown often...he has never been asked to leave or stop flying there....however?

Good news n' bad news...
Unfortunately...or fortunately we have a pretty good flying site (THAT IS) until all this is settled.
More surprising yet...is that this property has not been closed off as yet, although I am pretty certain that we could be---flyin n' squattin on a time bomb.

ASKED TO LEAVE AT ANY TIME...
humm?
I can just read the headlines in my local paper. "OLD MODEL STUNT GRUNT ARRESTED FOR FLYING "TOY-AIRPLANES ON STRINGS...CHARGED WITH MUTIPLE COUNTS OF TRESSPASSING!
