My airfield

My airfield is located in a place called Ripel in the valley Omvikedal. Due to the location I have always called it Ripel.
I rent the area from a friendly farmer, and his two sons keeps the grass short.
It is a rather short field with a runway length of 160 meters and a width of 7,5 meters. I have landed there for some years, and have never had any trouble. Safety margin is good as there is +200 meters open field without powerlines or obstacles in both ends. The field is also pretty wide. I think it would work out fine in case of an engine-out on take-off.
The local RC-club is also using the runway. I always fly a couple of 360's before landing if I  notice any RC-activity on the field. Then they have time to land their small planes before I'm in for landing.
A hangar is finally in place. It's a small "tent-type" hangar called TSU 1333 bought from www.vikre.no
It is 10x4x4 metres, just enough for my trike. Some pictures from the project below. Two pictures from each end of the runway is also attached.

The runway is 14-32. The exact GPS data is N59 56.253 E5 59.432
