I'm very close to La Guardia airport and I fly in the Flushing Meadows park, usually early in the morning when it's less crowded.
Thanks for the advise, I do have the ribbon in my controller, I've tried following all suggestion on manual and advises like your's that I've been reading on the forums.

Actually I got inspired to go beyond RC flying toys when I saw a individual flying in Kissena Park, he was flying a 3D white plane, it was very cool, he recommended going to big apple hobbies, but I ended going to Willis Hobbies.

Just one question, should I land against or in favor of wind?

Thanks.
