Yeah it's the flyover that takes the space and gives folks a "safe" feeling. We have a field here in a Park and supposedly you can fly up to a .60 size but its a really tight box with the rules in place and neighbors that have been trying to shut down the club since it was proposed. The field buts up to a neighbor city so you can't fly "over" the trees, then there is a a telephone line at one end which you are not supposed to fly over, and at the other end there is a lake/pond you can't fly over. The neighbors say the planes will hit someone or their house. All potential things that can happen but having airspace not over houses or people will make the site last longer. At this club the neighbors stand at the borders, take pictures of you flying over and file complaints with the city. You also have to be under 85db. That's the main reason I no longer fly there and not in the club. They probably should just go to electric smaller aircraft only.
