I know I am seeking help here from others by posting this question. And in that vein I don't want to come across as looking disrespectful and rude. But honestly, I'm NOT looking to open an AMA sanctioned club with an open membership to the general public that brings in 50 to 100 members who are coming and going on any nice weekend afternoon. I'm talking about a future homesight or weekend property for the wife and I to visit or retire to, which will certainly have to necessarily be bigger then most typical 50' x 75' backyards across America where many average folks typically reside....as I currently do.

So when somebody quotes that 1,500 feet on other side of center would be suitable for my personal and casual RC flying, they are talking about a total length of 3,000 feet which is 1,000 yards, or well over 1/2 a mile long length of land. I guess I better really start saving. Thanks for that input.
