8 Seconds

The vid showed the plane taking off to the north, circling back, and doing a flyby over the runway.
It exited the runway at about the 27 sec mark of the vid,
it then cruised south, intentionall towards the i40 and got to the freeway at about the 35sec mark.

well, if you intentionally refuse to turn second after second after second after second after second after second after second after second,
yeah you will tend to go outta bounds [&:]

How many of our fields can we do a flyby and then cruise turn-free for a full 8sec and stay in the flight area?
I will be first to confess my field fails and passes that test:
I have a plane that will cross our NoFly in about 5 sec, meaning our field should be shut down?
But I also have a lil parkie plane that might take 13 sec to get to the boundry... so our field can stay open???

As I have said over and over here,
that runway is perfectly safe FOR SOME TYPES OF CRAFT,
while being absolutely insanely unsafe FOR OTHER TYPES.

A simple restriction similar to the PPP would end this discussion:
60mph / 200' / 55lb with a NoFly line 500' from the freeway



heck,
folks are always complaining how 3D pilots are always hogging the runway,
here we have a runway that can support like 15 or more 3D on the runway
which is cool cause there is nowhere else to fly them with that small overflight area [8D]
.... its almost a perfect dream 3D (plus Parkie plus heli plus CL) setup so why shut it down?

Telling 20" foamies they cant hover at the north end because turbines cant take off to the south
is dumb.
"No Fast Planes" doesnt have to mean 'No Anyone'
