    Here is my first ever narrative video. The space between the trees is actually 45'. It is not the easiest to do a roll out landing here. You really have to stay low across the pond and grease it in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9sMFBS2wlc

    Alright, my first post and an odd question. I have been flying my foam 3dhs yak 54 here (48"). No problems. I have unlimited air space but a bit of a restricted landing area. I have a great aproach over 2 ponds. The actual area to touch down is short. I am sure I could do a balsa 48"...
