Hey thanks so much for all the help and advice you guys are giving me.

I think my biggest fear of going from foamie(electric) to nitro is tuning the engine and the landing. I was told that the engines can stall on landing when you throttle back to idle and the you're screwed. I have a nitro Traxxas Revo 3.3 and I am not perfect at tuning that thing.
Aren't foamie aircraft more forgiving on crappy landings than wood nitros?

As far as the field, the closest field to my is 45 miles away. That's why I asked about flying the tower
in that community area. The area we fly is pretty large. It's at the back of the community and the closest house is about 300 yards away from us. The rest is wide open with fields and trees covering 80% of the area.

Another thing is that I have never worked with balsa wood and monocote stuff so if I crash how difficult is it to repair the plane?

I just don't want to go here and not be ready for anything that happens. My pocket book is extremely tight so I am stretching it
just with the accessories I have to buy if I get this plane.
