Again, that's good advice under normal circumstances, but if you get the playmate up too high, you run the risk of losing it.
It is a tiny, micro-lite airplane. a slight breeze will carry it for miles!
Besides, I have bashed mine into everything imaginable and she's still flying.
Your biggest fear is not crashing it, but getting it caught in a tree!
Man are you right about that.....I got my Micro P-51 caught in the neighbors tree and my wife almost killed me
That's because when she came home, I was on top of a 20' extension ladder with a 15' painters pole swinging wildly trying to hold my balance on the top step (Not smart) and knock this thig out of the tree top before it rained [X(]
Needless to say I think she has up'ed my life insurance since I started R/C .....so just be careful with too much altitude, as MinnFlyer said, those micro-lite planes get caught in a gust and they are gone......and it takes less wind than you think.........
