Default Field size anyone?

To sort of put it inperspective, our club field is on a 10 acre plot that we lease. It backs up to a 300 acre plot used for cattle grazing. We have overflight rights on the larger piece and use a good proportion of that for out typical flights with glow and gas engine planes.

I agree that the area you are in should be OK for electric (park flyer) equipment.

The glow planes have a typically loud, high pitched whine that can be quite irritating if you aren't an RC enthusiast.

One of our club members lives about 1/2 mile from the field and says he knows when someone is out flying by the engine sound.

Have you checked out any local clubs with fields sized for glow and away from housing developments for noize concerns.
