    2. Shed/Fence Area (Every 2-3 weeks). Blade height 4-5

Post Rain Reminder(or freeze/thaw):Please park on the gravel until the field dries up and please do NOT walk on the RUNWAY (when possible) if the ground near the flight stations is soft. Walking on a soft runway can leave your footprints underneath the fabric and may cause damage to other planes going over the foot hole you left. If you need to walk on the runway to access a model, please walk the SHORTEST path possible on the runway even if this means walking around the runway perimeter to get to the other side. Please be courteous to your fellow modelers/club members and respect our field.
