[NSRCA-discussion] Question for a friend for the experts

[Stuart Chale]

Nice friend.  I wish I had a friend who was buying some property to fly 
pattern :)

Just the flying area alone figuring a 60 degree box and a max of 175 yds 
out would be 525 feet (175 yds) by 1818 feet (606 yds)
The sides of a 30 60 90 triangle are x, 2x and x times the square root of 3
x is the distance out 2x is along the 60 degree lines.  Of course you 
would not like houses right on the edge of your box to fly over.

I put a triangle to it and I would still overfly as the “box” doesn’t fit in the acreage, 1350’ x 1000’.  Do you have a recommended acreage size for a field?  Just curious.
