"WANTED"Local Radio Control Glider Club looking for a place to fly

[Big Browns]

I posted this a couple month's ago and got several great responses, but nothing really worked out. I am a member of a local RC Glider club. We are desperately in need of a field to fly at. We are looking for a piece of property that is at liest 10 Acres. Grass or Alphalfa would be ideal or have the ability to grow grass. The planes are made out of molded fiberglass and kevlar. The smoother the landing surface the better. If anyone know's of anyone who has a piece of property that we might be able to use/rent please let me know. The property needs to be at liest 6 miles from any major airport. Thanks

Every Sunday morning I see planes flying in a field by my house. It's off Hunt Highway right after you go past the Florence Anthem where the road curves right before Attaway. There is a turn off but I don't know what the place is called.

 

This should give you an idea of where it is. Open the link and zoom out one time.

I hope this helps.

Sorry, the link is wrong. You have to copy and paste the whole thing.

I live in Gilbert and have my commercial pilot license. I drive around my neighborhood sometimes and there are people and thier rc planes and choppers in a park by my house. Its a little short of 10 acres I think but as a pilot, it will be perfect for you. It's on Neely and Houston (right by Gilbert & Guadeloupe). Its got grass and a few scattered trees and alot of landing space for your toys. PM for more info.

 

It's not in any airspace besides Phoenix Class B airspace at 4,000FT MSL (above sea level) at this location, which isn't a factor.
