I had been around full scale airplanes a couple of decades before you were born....not all of it in maintenance, crew chief, flt mech, etc.
I've got my time in the air as well....true not behind the stick much, but .....
I'm telling you this to try and protect you and our hobby, and so you know where i've been.....
I did not know how bad a model accident can be.....A friend of mine almost died in one.....you should see his scars.....When you fly in that park you have no one to watch your back....With all my years I never thought a prop would get me...well one did...my own stupidity...but I was got....sure glad I was at the RC field where I was taken to the ER, my plane cleaned up and taken home.
Remember the accident doesn't have to a bystander....
The choice is of course yours....Good Luck
