Summary: How big of a space is needed to accommodate flying, with judges?
I know there are a number of stunt CDs on this board, as well as competitors with experience, so I'm posing a question about how to lay out a contest space. Especially with respect to allowing for judging.
For solo practice, a flying space for stunt is typically a marked center area, like a concrete pad or small painted circle, combined with a 70' radius area for takeoff/landing, plus about a 10' buffer area, for 80' total radius. However, to have an actual contest, or even to train judges for a proposed contest, I'd estimate a larger area is needed so that judges will be less likely to be struck.
Thoughts?
thanks,
Peter
