How Much Landing/Take Off space does this RC Airplane need?
I'm wanting to buy myself the RC J-3 Grasshopper 3CH Scale 1:10 Electric Airplane. But I need to know how much landing and takeoff clearance it needs, How long should the runway be? And will an unbusy street work. (Almost no one drives on this street.)
Depends more on your skill as a pilot than the aircraft type. An "unbusy" street wouldn't be very safe. Even the small RC's are capable of inflicting fatal injuries if operated carelessly.

Not much, it all depends on the speed it comes down at, I'd say about 5 - 15m or around that, your street will work

I just googled it and they said this a/c will need 100 ft for landing.
