large enough for xk A1200?
 
I have been flying the micro gliders, radian and flyzone and would like to go to a medium sized glider like the XK 1200 or dynam hawk I fly mainly in a park behind my house. It is a rectangle pretty much. It measures about 552 ft by about 1200 feet width. There are no trees in the park but there are along the sides. Do you think this area would be big enough for a glider with a 53 inch wing span?

That would be plenty of space to fly my 2,5m Arthobby Evolution. With gliders it often gets easier to fly if it gets bigger even at relatively small places because of the light wing loading they thrive at slow speed.

Thanks so much. I suppose most people would consider it a silly or very novice question. 64 views and 1 reply makes me think this . I am a novice.

If you think you stink! Haha (joke), don't look too much at the views and replies my friend. You are the next generation, I don't take that lightly at all.
Basically if you have learned to fly that space with a small glider, it will be a piece of cake for you to fly a bigger one, thats how it is.
