Default RE: Parkzone P-51 Preflight check list and Launch tips

These are rather large trees and from the angle I was at it's hard to get a good feel for where the plane is in relation. Normally I would keep it above the trees. There was also a much stronger wind above the trees than there was down on the ground. That strong wind was initially what lead to the loss of sight of the plane. Caused it to stall out and start loosing altitude. Overall just a way to small of a space to fly in.
