face=sans-serif size=2>we got a 30 year lease on our corps of engineer
property by making this pitch: We will manage the site, improve the site with
regular improvements (subject to your review and approval), and maintain a
safety code for RC flying. As long as we hold up our end, they have been
holding up theirs. At first they wanted improvements quickly, but once
we got shelters and a runway in, they've left us alone.....well up until this
year with the noise problems. And we are still dealing with that issue.
</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>The only hitch, and it is
minor, is that at first they wanted to let it be a public flypark. We
felt we couldn't maintain safety this way and asked for the ability to require
club membership, club certification (we have a checkout program). After
some negotiation we got them to agree to let us manage the field for safety
purposes and we have a gate at the entrance. However, this took a while
to get the agreement.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif
