Yeah I did consider about going to a real airfield. If I did have a plane I wouldnt use it when people where around. I'm 17 and I only have a permit. I was looking at airfields in New York but the closest airfield to me is over 30 minutes away and like 20 miles in one direction. Sorta to far cause I don't like to go places very far like that unless I have more than one reason cause that's alot of miles, time, and gas. Any other ideas? Like maybe not a 4 channel and a 3 instead? I think I've seen some where you can change between 3 and 4 channel. Any reccomendations on those?
