I was looking at this plane...

I am now thinking that 1/4 is possibly the biggest that we can run safely with having enough room to land.  What are your thoughts.  It comes in at 30 lbs.  So my current PUP has 2800 watts and it flies fine.. but can land in a very short distance.  I have seen some video's on the tube and it seems to take our whole field for the run out.

Anyways, cool plane.. would have to sell some cars just to park it.

When they get that big people start to think your compensating for something.

PS. If you think the field is too short you might consider hand launching it
Yea 400W/lb should about do it.. But wouldn't a nice round 500 be better?
