Well congrats. But I have to say I learned quick not to fly in a bad area. My friend and I bought $30 harbor freight planes. We tried flying in his neighborhood. First time up made a big circle and went into a tree. We got it down and put it up again and it pretty much went straight into a neighbors car. So then we went to a school field. Flew for a few minutes then started losing control. It ended up landing in someones backyard. Now these were small planes. I couldnt imagine what would have happened if I tried that with the nexstar. Anyway I quickly joined the AMA and found a very nice sanctioned field about 15 mins from my house. Been flyin for several months and still have my planes...
