Ummm... the Dynaflite Butterfly is 99 inch span.

No... its not a small field airplane. Its difficult to keep it inside a double-wide football field if you are a GOOD pilot. Figure a beginner needs 200 yds by 400 yds. (if getting help from an instructor double that on his own)
I was thinking of its smaller version ..The "Piece of Cake" .Its 78 in.You are 100% right .The Butterfly is even bigger yet ..Good reason to find a bigger field .I have a 200 X 300 field close to me ,but I will still drive 6 miles to a sactioned flying site rather then risk hitting a tree ,house ,or worst of all --A young child .Planes are like magnets to children ..Take it out to the country .
