Flying so close to traffic and around other people makes me nervous. It's not worth it if something goes wrong .Period. There is a beautiful, perfectly maintained field about 20 miles outside of the city. I will try to get out there as often as possible, but I don't have a car. My roommate is more than willing, however, to take me, as he is trying to get into the hobby, too. So, if this weekend is nice, I think we'll head out. I'm addicted now. Absolutely addicted.
