Haha well so be it. That's my Achilles' heel as well, can't say how many I've pulled "up" into the ground, lol.
I live on a 30 acre farm so I don't often go to flying fields, but that also means I can't fly many planes with gear, most of mine are hand launch/belly landers. Hence my hesitation to launch large models by myself. Most planes these days are foam and will withstand at least a few crashes thank God, usually even repairable in the field with CA (or hot glue if AC is available). Now you're getting me motivated. Maybe I'll see if I can get one or two airworthy this weekend. There is a park near the farmer's market people fly at in Raleigh, forgot the name. I usually prefer the privacy of my farm though, it makes the walk of shame less embarrassing.
Here's a quick flight I recorded with a Mobius camera when I was a member at BARKS field here in Snow Camp a couple of years ago. Note I had painted the whole top of the thing orange to help with orientation.
This one gives a good view of the farm and is the last time I flew, almost a year ago. Since then we've taken out the fence line from where I was to the barn so there's lots more open visibility from the ground now.
