Answer: A whole lot more than just a field

Maybe.

But real clubs steamroll the grass landing strip. Maintain the paved take off strip, if they have one.

Mow n garden. Yes, some old guy planted decorative shrubs and flowers. There's often a covered pavilion with grills as well. And a storage shed.

Good clubs have more invested than most RC tracks. I'm only using them as an example of the quality that RC clubs need to advance to. If they want to survive.
