Dick, fully agree. There is just so much more involved in aircraft set up then straight and level.
I had to laugh when acdii mentioned flying by the barn. Once a student I had owned a funky little electric ARF I had trimmed for him at the field. When we got home he asked if I thought I could fly it here in front of my house, well sure, wshy not. All went well until I got it higher then roof level!!! Just getting it back down to land was a thrill. I never once gave the wind over the homes a second thought. A light breeze here on the ground is nothing but once you get the plane up about 25 feet or so and it's a thrill.
