  • We've been busy working on the Pilot Lodge! The runway is coming along well and we have certainly learned more about dirt work in the past few months than we ever wanted to know. Luckily winter is right around the corner and the ground will freeze up soon, making the runway solid for the winter and giving us a break from the outdoor work. This winter we have lots of indoor projects around the property, filming our multiengine course, training students, and beginning building more cabins for student housing for flight training this coming summer!

    "Crush & Run" - Grass will eventually grow on top of it. Stop thinking about the perfect grass first. Think solid base first.

    This is definitely something I want to do for myself once I get my own land. I do worry about practicality and costs of all of this, though.

    Lime with.#6 #8 stone will give you a good base. Grade with a crown in the middle you need a laser level drainage pipe underneath to drain to the side. Claw foot roller for prep work.

      That's a good tip! Trying to get by at the moment with drainage dirches...the runway has about 20' of fall over 1,000 length

    G,day Jon from Sydney Australia.
    Well... If you can separate the small aggregate 'rocks' find some sandy material and purchase some Portland cement. Mix in a ratio 5 sand 3 aggregate 1 cement and fill the steel roller instead of water?

    Hey bro' I'm not far from you (by the looks of the mountains) if you need a hand next summer with your strip I can help . I do have access to rock trucks, excavators and more located from Palmer to Pittman . I myself have cut 4 airstrips deep in the woods up pitman and willow areas. I like to fly and you have a plane . My family has a highly modified pa 12 firewall forward ,300 horse ,extended ailerons ,6inch lift on 33 tundra ,cross wind stol ext ,could possibly do work for you if you could take some them bad ass drone shots of our 12 doing short take offs and landing .that would be awesome.

    It's not a mistake, it's just learning. But I don't understand is why you don't just keep packing it? Probably that's a stupid question, but it seems to me if you just keep backing it it will eventually get firm. I don't know...

    I would have rented a compactor first, you could make that dirt like concrete if you waited a few days. A sheep's foot will make it hard enough to build a building on.

      @fly8ma.comflighttraining199  Рік тому

      Lol, yup...I'm slowly learning. After seeing that material go through freeze, thaw, and drought, it is good stuff, just needs the right moisture content and compaction

    I think you need to add Lime to your soil to make it hold together. May be you can find some inspiration from this film ua-cam.com/video/1s3kC6hVuro/v-deo.html&pp=ygU1S3VhbGEgTHVtcHVyIEFpcnBvcnQgUnVud2F5IENvbnN0cnVjdGlvbiBBcmNoaXZlIGZpbG0%3D
