Default small flying space for glow

I have lots of e-planes that will fly in a 50x50 yard space but I was wondering if their was anything like that in the glow/nitro scene. I'm wanting to get away from e planes but still stay in same field!LOL! Any comments on any glow or nitro planes that will fly in a 50x50yard area would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Sorry, but you're not going to be able to fly a glow powered plane in a space that small. You're going to need a bit more room to fly even the smallest glow planes.

To be totally honest with you, you're going to need at least several acres to fly on. The actual runway area doesn't need to be that big, but the overfly area does need that much room. 5-10 acres would be a great safe size to fly glow planes in.

a small 1/2A plane(.049 powered) might be able to do O.K. in that kind of area, but flying a .25 size or larger would be next to impossable and really not that much fun.
