It looks like you fly it in the nieghborhood. Any complaints from the residents? I have a similar situation with a perfect float flying lake on the edge of my back yard. I thought I'd start out small with small electric float planes and if I have no complaints, move up to bigger planes.

Beautiful plane, sorry about the police, it sounds like my neighborhood, where the police have nothing better to do.
