I live in Pasadena......

San Diego............Nice.

Being that you live in a coastal city, be careful of the wind. As a beginner, you're going to have your hands full without having to deal with any wind. Ideally, you want to fly in 0 wind. If you see flags or tree leaves moving or if you can feel a slight breeze on your face, it may be worthwhile to wait for a windless day........

Check out the following site........Just change the location at the top to San Diego...........It will give you wind conditions for every hour of the day.

Zero wind is best, but at least try to keep it under 3mph.........These light planes car really get blown around a lot.

Good luck....
