I've come to outgrow the soccer field which I have been flying at up to now. Or, at least I do not dare as much when I feel confined within a small space. SO, I have hatched out a plan to build a small landing pad near one of the many fields which surrounds our apartment.
I walked around a bit today, looking for the optimal place. Actually going places I've never been, and we have lived here for almost two years
After a while I stumbled over this perfect field, hidden in a sort of valley.
Yesterday I visited my father, who happens to be a carpenter
He supplied me with some building materials and some recommendations on how I should go about this. These plates are to become my pad surface.
Trying to find a suitable place for my pad.
More wood, and some newly acquired tools.
Assembly.
Trying out for the final placement.
Making some "feet".
Excavating earth and tearing out weeds.
In place!
Got it as level as I could, but it was difficult and I settled for this. It's hard to see on the picture, but the pad tilts backwards a tad.
I went to the hard-ware store tonight and got some more stuff. I'll continue tomorrow - style it up a bit
