As a new pilot, thought this might be an interesting discussion. How long did it take you to be confident flying longer distances?
I've had my Air a little over a week, I have flown directly above me to the FAA limit, but am currently only comfortable flying over basically my yard. We have 5 acres, so it's a decent size, but at the same time somewhat limiting. The biggest factor for me in getting comfortable flying further is we are surrounded by trees, hills and tree covered hills.
For the most part I rarely expect to fly out longer distances, but am curious how long it took you to happily fly out 1000' and more.
