Default RE: First try at flying without a trainer! Not to good! :-)

I could perfectly see, it's called light pollution

Seriously, I was in a big park and some lights were on.

Anyways, I think the only poor judgement I made was to go ahead a try to fly without properly being prepared. (ie: properly broken-in engine, nicer weather...) even tho nothing was successfull I still had fun But for sure I will be more prepared for my next attempt. But that' doesn't mean I'm not responsible and what I did was stupid.

Honestly, I only wanted to see it take off the ground for a few seconds and fly it straight and then land it.... I wasn't planning to do circles, loops and all, not in the conditions that I was.

Anwyays, the bottom line is that what I did wasn't irresponsible or dumb, it was my decision, no one was at risk except for myself and my buddie (which knew the risks) no preperty was at risk either. I really don't care if my plane crashed to the ground, I woun't b!%ch about it, I would just recycle what I could and be happy to build another plane


The point of my post was to show to the newbs like me, not to go ahead and be impatient like I was.... I should'off waited for better weather condition on a sunny day.... I was a victim of finishing my plane late at night and not be able to resist flying it..... is that a crime? stupid or irresponsible?

Then again, maybe this confusion is all my fault, english is not my native language (French is) therefore maybe I miscommunicated my story and feelings
