It's nice and big and I can see it from afar when I look at my iPad so I can take off and land easily. I think it's a 30 inch round pillow and you just take each side of it and start twisting it in the opposite direction and it folds into a maybe 12 inch circle and fits in your pocket. It's so light that if you lay it out for takeoff and landing you get 3 good stakes to puncture tires so it doesn't fly away, especially when you hit RTH you want it to land exactly where it came from is.
