Aerobatic Flyer

The 120M strip is at Eastbach where I fly from, The field is a hill top site (it's in the AFE guide) and the two main runways are 250M and 350M, but they are one way strips, one take off north, land south the other take off west, land east. Last year we mowed a westerly stripette up the bank for landing into the prevailing wind. Basically, you fly up the valley, then sharp right, slip over the trees and land up the bank between the fence and the tree.

The strip rises about 80ft in it's lenth so its quite steep. I regularly land my Cub up it but have also landed the Taylorcraft, Fred and even the Isaacs Fury there on occasion.
