No, they've changed, and I guess I was being a little lazy!! :wink:

New location = 24°47'43.94"S 28°41'53.98"E, which is a fair distance away!

I will check it out and offer some comments!

Crikey, do I wish I had flat open land like this on my farm!!! :cry:

This new location is fantastic. (^^)

To Alan's point, three runways in a triangular layout will suffice!

Just spend a little time checking your prevailing wind conditions (needed: windsock and little black book! :wink:) and try to make sure that you main runway has that orientation covered!

Cheers, and Good Luck! (^^)

My main reason for the sqaure is the road is already made incase of a "forest fire" what il do jhon is to take out the x lines and only make one from sw to ne. I was thinking of take mervin or fanie from microland with me someday down there for them to check it out.

Thanks for the impute il let you all know when all is finished with coordinates incase somebody wants to drop in!
