Hello; I did that with my first plane a Skyward 40. I walked to the nearest swchool, just over the fence of my backyard. The plane wouldn't taxi fast enough to take off on the soccor field, so I took it to the paved playground. It took off just fine from there. then I had to teach myself how to fly and land. Shortly after that I had to teach myself how to re-build my plane.

I did the same thing with a control line plane I bought for my young son, walked over to the school fired it up and let 'er rip. I hate those cox engines.

I now realize the foolishness of my youth, but I didn't know any other flyers and it just had to fly. I didn't his any poles but I hit the curb on a low pass and broke the firewall out.
