I have been enjoying your videos a lot and am interested in a Nano myself-I have a property in the country with a clearing that I might be able to take off in without cutting trees down…. What do you think your take off roll is and how much room do I need to clear a 50 foot object?
My strip is about 240m long, half on the flat and half sloping down to the cattle race. Take-off roll is typically 75-100m, a fully flared landing roll can be just a few metres but more comfortable to do a rolling landing of about 15m. I only use the top part of the strip, but nice/essential to have the full length available in case I need to abort a take-off (haven't needed to yet). Re 50ft clearance I am not sure. The Nano lifts off at about 30km/h but then you need to stay flat and build speed to about 60km/h before climbing away. You wil see on the videos that takes pretty much the full 240m. The Nano is not a high powered rocket ship- it is a reliable little fun flyer with good handling characteristics.
