Too breezy to fly today after work, but tomorrow looks pretty good. Have to get as much flying in as possible as I am doing on-site Training next week -will be in Salt Lake area for the whole dang week, so my birds will get a rest. Any good clubs I should check out?

The Tigercat was the first of the warbirds to fly @ BWA the other day and my dad was just totally enthralled watching it.
I'm beginning to think he is happier about giving me that airstrip than I was to get it. :)Warbird Charlie

I'm not trying to bust balls but dont you guys who fly over buildings and people and such worry about accidents? **** as someone who has crashed and had a immediate lipo 6s explosion basically I am terrified of catching a school or a car or house on fire if the worst were to happen.AMA 1102566

Every moment I fly near buildings, brother. Every moment. That's why I won't fly with anyone around. The amphitheater parking lot that I fly at (in the video I posted above) is empty when I fly. I have permission from them to fly there. If I crash into their property and cause damage I take that risk and I would be fully responsible for any damages. I don't have the luxury of flying in flat, wide-open land without obstructions like some do. So I take the necessary precautions that I can when I do fly. Same goes for the school I have flown at for years. I won't fly if people are there and after my accident with my Spitfire I never fly anywhere near the school itself.My YouTube RC videos:

yeah when I first started flying I accidentally powered of my tx thinking it was a trim button. Corsair straight into a roof of a building. Luckily I had AMA and they paid out minus my 200$ deductible. It still scares me because I have nowhere else to fly but this dead end street in a industrial park. All the clubs around me hate foamies and there fields are setup for large planes. So I am left to myself on a dead end street. It makes run out hard on landing as both ends are down hill with me standing at the peak. Sigh it sucks.

Rifleman is right, AMA wants to hear about this and you also have a chance to speak out to those who foster the spirit of the hobby and aviation - which is the real motivation here, because aviation is always changing and if you don’t keep up you will find yourself grounded.
Suppose I should point out, there’s plenty of sky for everyone.
