it was actually my first plane and I loved it.. very easy to fly, super slow on the landings and when you go from the three to a two bladed prop, it's an altogether different beast.. the field you describe should be fine if you don't have too many surrounding high trees.. my only recommendation, despite the instructions, epoxy the wings together.. mine folded in flight and I lost the plane forever..
Great plane, capable of anything you'd want to try,
