Look, if I came across as overy harsh, then I'm sorry. I do, however stand by the comments that I've made, and to which others have added.

Taking off and landing in such an area is just plain unsafe, regardless of experience level. For someone who is struggling to take off and land it's just foolish.

I maidened an new Alpha 60 last night at our flying field and had significant problems. The plane was enough out of trim that it was just about all I could do to keep it in the air, much less do that and adjust trim at the same time. One of the other flyers came over and made trim adjustments while I concentrated on keeping the plane upright and level.

Please......find a safe place to fly. If you refuse to find an instructor to help, at least that way the only thing really at risk is your plane.

There is a reason that most AMA sanctioned clubs will not let a new pilot fly alone until he is signed off by an instructor One reason is to keep the pilot's plane in one piece so they actually enjoy what they are doing and don't lose a plane worth 200 or 300 dollars. The other, and most important is to ensure the safety of people and objects in the close area.

Do this, and you will have the support and congratulations of everyone here.

Good luck, and please....be safe.
