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

[Dave Burton]

An old rule of thumb I remember from years ago was that an RC flying field needed 100 acres to fly over. I'd think in today's environment it's probably hard to find many fields with that much area especially along the East coast.
I have 28 acres at my flying field at my home but no neighbors within 400-500 feet from my boundary so I have enough room to fly without causing a problem. Now if I could only convince my sister (co-owner) of the need to cut a few more trees at the North end........

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

 A friend of mine Russ Rhodes asked me this question.
 Since I'm stuck in a metro area with 8 million people the last thing I know about is acreage. I can't think of a better place to get an answer than you guys so here it goes.

 Mike, I know that youve been in the pattern flying for some time.  I am trying to buy some property and found a 30 acre plot that was a square 40 acre with 10 acres removed.  I put a triangle to it and I would still overfly as the box doesnt fit in the acreage, 1350 x 1000.  Do you have a recommended acreage size for a field?  Just curious.

Russ

 Thanks in advance, Mike Mueller
