Just for info standard glow trainers called 40 size cruise about 40 mph. They also tend to float while slowing down to land. This means that you should have about 300 long by 40 feet wide feet of fairly level grass or pavement for takeoff and landing. If you don't have this then conditions for learning are less than ideal. Once you are experienced you can take off and land in about in about 50 feet. [8D]
