I live in Florida so no hills around me ! Now i can say i though of putting some floats on my NexSTAR and flying it around the guld of mexico ! But i fear of landing it and the engine stalling ! I dont want to swim for my plane !!!......... other then that I really love flying LOW and SLOW at times , I havent got my stick to hover either and i have a BIG prop for it but im not a ace so i havent done that . hmmmm i guess maybe talking to a instructor might be my best bet, I would really love to fly in formation with other planes ! that would be the best .
