ORIGINAL: flycatch
Small tight fields are a problem but are not an issue if you visualize a funnel with you being on the bottom of the spout. Instead of using the normal rectangular pattern to land use a spiral approach instead. I learned this long ago when I belonged to the "league of Silent Flight" flying gliders. You start from above flying a large descending circle decreasing in diameter on your way down. The last circle should place you about twenty feet above ground level and in a direction with the runway.
LOL That is kind of the way I have flown the last two times out. With the Corn being so tall I have to fly it in closer to me as I get lower to the ground or I will lose it over the corn. I circle it in and make smaller circles the lower I get until I bled off enough speed to bring it down.
Oooh I just thought of something. A laser fan at the end of the runway with one of those beepers they use in laser tag. That would tell me when I am past the corn.
FAA may frown upon that though.
