Sounds like a good place to fly, only 30 mins from me. I've been much too busy with work for the last few months, but maybe I could join you guys at Egg sometime in the future.
And Michael, sorry I didn't get in touch with you yet, as I said just above work got really crazy. Should lighten up in a month or so again

it's not a very big place but you can fly a nice round track. We could meet for a race after my holidays, so from 15 February?

Hi guys,
Killwangen air strip is ready again, the grass was quite high, but now someone cut it

What's about Saturday? Weather seems to be fine, I will buy some pool noodles to mount some race gates.

Hey again Michael
Yeah I should be able to join for that. I broke a motor today, and hopefully my replacement will arrive from fpvracing.ch by Friday.
I assume it would be ok if a group of us are coming? I have started flying with a group from this forum and at least 1 other is interested to come this Saturday. It could be that 3-4 of us will turn up (there are 6 of us currently). Midday would suite us better on Saturday, or earlier, what time roughly did you want to start?
Oh and I also made a pool noodle gate a few days ago. It falls over in light wind, will have to find a solution for that. I have the stuff to make 2 more, so hopefully I can bring 3 gates. I also have some flags (cheap Coop Swiss EM flags :D) that work well for racing.

I live 50m away from this spot, so for me it's fine! Sure it's fine with a group, even better!

That's great! I think I have some stainless steel rods, maybe we can use them as a tent peg? We will find a solution
Here's the place to fly - also to get a raw idea about my quite basic flying skills

Nice vid and looks like a fun place to fly. I guess we won't upset anyone if we put a race course down there?
Here's a vid from our last meetup a few weeks back (I didn't make it though):

We only had a simple triangular 3 flag track then, but we have more flags now and gates will make it a lot more fun.
Looking forward to Saturday!

There's a public open air pool between the houses and the air strip - enough noise floor to mask our screamers Never had problems there.
Cool Video, this will be great fun on saturday!
