They are great. They are aircraft, and must be taken as seriously as any other aircraft. With respect to all the details, it depends on which model you are flying. I last flew an Eipper MXL, and the take off distance was very short. My quess is a couple of hundred feet to clear 50'. Safety depends on having the right safety equipment (parachutes), and having a "safe" attitude. Al Gettier Teknekron Infoswitch
