Hello, Ian...
 IM> Hell! My whole swamp area is only 800 foot by 200. Half of it is
 IM> water. I guess I'll have one of them STOL strips:-)
 
 Well, let's go with it - a STOL is just the thing...
 RM> mostly sand and no nutrients - a soil analysis said we need
 RM> "everything except sand".
 IM> So it does grow though. I don't have sand but a mixture of peat,
 
 It doesn't grow ANYTHING well except fire ants - this past week was wet
 and rainy, then nice and warm for several days - brought them devil-like
 insects out EVERYWHERE - a sting is not as bad as a wasp, but still pretty
 nasty - you're lucky - they're tropical insects and unlikely to get as
 far North as you...
 RM> bank account !! Let us know your progress on your airport and
 RM> your success in getting a bird airborne.  TTYL - Roger
 IM> Now don't hold your breath waiting. I've been building that strip for
 IM> about 8 years and the last attempt at flying was about that long ago
 
 In your spare time ??? - now, about that lapse in flying - NO WAY, HO SAY !!
 IM> as well.  I have had others fly outa here so i atleast know my air is
 IM> good. 
 
 We have some bad air from time to time (gr) - at least that's what the
 crash was blamed on (gr)...
 IM> Sheesh and I haven't toughed my stamp collection in three years either
 So many things, so little time - that's life - TTYL - Roger
