Don't get me wrong here, I am WELL aware that I am nowhere near even thinking about landing right now none the less in a smaller field. I had however want to fly the plane from, and land at my home. The only problem is that I only have 875 ft usable field with trees at one side, and a fence at the other. Is this ling enough to land in? I don't want to get myself into a situation where If I had something happen, I have no outs, but I also cant talk the neighbor out of his land quite yet :). Thanks for the help ahead of time Noah _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
