I think the reason that a lot of these guys have told you "go get an instructor" is because they care whether or not you succeed or fail. They are just trying to save you a lot of time, money and frustration. I am not saying that you cant learn on your own, but your little electrics and Real Flight (while a very good learning tool) are not the same. Not trying to get in your business, but since most of these guys have WAY more experience than you do, maybe you might think about taking a little friendly advice before you accidentally get in trouble. I know if I was flying at a sanctioned field, and a guy like you flying somewhere out on his own turned his transmitter on and shot me down causing a loss of my aircraft, you would be getting a visit from me if I found you. You might be wise to follow the above advice and check how far your "10 acre lot" is from the established flying field before you get something stirred up that you dont want. Like was stated above, if you are within 5 miles, either you or them are going to have problems sooner or later.
