Nice, where I fly, the guys don't fly anything bigger than one of the 3D planes with about a 80in wingspan. Most fly electric planes now days. My fear is the field is not big enough for a 1/3 scale plane. It's kind of tight. Maybe I'll build my 1/4 scale Cub and take it out there to see how much room I'll really have. I'd hate to build something like a Sopwith Camel just to lose it in the tree's.
I do hope to be able to get a FB Bipe one day, I just love those biplanes. I had about 20 flights on my Phaeton II before I lost it on a landing one day. Lucked out though, all I did was mess up the covering on the wings and ripped the ailerons off. Easy enough fix but since I quit flying for 15 years I need to get some trainer time in first. Next year I'm sure.
Thanks for the reply
