Thanks for the replies. The only reason why joining a club has been a difficult decision for me is a lack of cash. It's pretty much a choice of possibly having a nitro powered plane before snow falls, or joining a club. But I hadn't really thought about the noise. That alone would probably be enough to get me in trouble with the homeowners near the park. And no, I probably wouldn't be able to safely fly a plane that can cross the park in 20 seconds. As depressing as it seems right now, it looks like putting the new plane on hold and getting myself a better place to fly first is the way to go.
