For those of you involved with your club's field maintenance, what kind of grass do you use on your grass runway?
Our club has a 450 foot by 30 foot grass runway and we have recently been the recipient of some help from our local county golf course grounds crew. Last summer they came over and smoothed out a rough portion of the strip. This year they are aerating and topdressing with sand, the entire runway. They have also contributed some new grass seed, which is a mixture of Bermuda and some other strains. The plan is the Bermuda will eventually take over the entire runway. According to the guy in charge, even though the Bermuda will go dormant each year during our West Virginia winter, it should come back each spring with a vengeance. It can withstand long hot dry spells and can be cut as short as 1/2 inch, which makes it idea for a RC runway!
I was just wondering if anyone else has had experience with Bermuda in the northern half of the U. S.?
