I have plenty of room where I fly, It's atleast 4 1/2 soccor fields long, and 3 wide. And, there's a sidewalk running right through the middle for take off's.
For a glow powered airplane that is not "plenty" of room. A glow powered airplane can travel the distance of 4 soccer fields in several seconds. Even a trainer plane can fly 40-50 mph. A soccer field is normally 120 yards long. 4 soccer fields is 480 years which converts to .27 miles. At 50 mph it doesn't take very long to cover a quater of a mile.
