I've been flying at my club for about 1-1/2 to 2 months now. The flying area is over a wooded area. Somewhat clear around the runway but more dense farther out. I always fear losing my plane over that wooded area. One, the plane may wind up in a tree. Two, the plane may be hard to find. Three I know there are snakes out there. Some planes have never been found. Others have been accidently found months later. Not a pleasant feeling for me. Now that I have more flying skill I try to keep it close to the runway.

I am fortunate to have a home field. There it is all open and finding a lost plane is not an issue. I have to fly alone as I have not found anyone nearby interested in RC flying. The club field is an hour away. Both fields have their plus and minus.
