We have a park specifically set aside for flying those airplanes and I used to dig going out on a Sunday and watching the folks fly them.
To see just how lifelike they can look watch "Empire of the Sun". Most of all the falling B-29 shot.
ya, most clubs have a field fo these models.
ours is (coincidentally) right across the street formt he airport i fly out of. we have i think one of the nicer fields in new jersey.
we have an east-west runway. the runway itself is almost 600 feet long. the treeline on the west side is over a mile away, and about 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile to the south treeline, and the east treeline is 1/4 mile away.
we have a few guys with jets, although nothing as nice as that yellow aircraft F/A hornet pictured above.
electric is becomming more prevelent too, and a lot of our members fly the sport type planes.
i stick with the sport planes as they're what i can easily afford to own, and i can afford to crash them too.(and everyone WILL crash at least one time)
