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.
I own 40 acres and that is more than enough for 40 and 60 size airplanes. Runway is a grass 75x 300 feet located in the middle. The club I belong to has 4 acres that we leese from the city. It is located next to a game preserve.Plenty of room.
