RE: New flyer has airfield question
If you have a local RC hobby shop ask if there are any flying fields in your area. If there are any near where you plan to fly you might wind up on someones frequency and you'll both have a bad day. If you can't get any info, the first time you go out turn the plane on without the tx and watch it for a minute or two, if it just jitters your OK, if the surfaces are moving you're on somebody's frequency.
