I'd like to eventually start working with those more high-powered motors, but for a first flight I wanted to keep things manageable.

... and I also had a 400 ft limit with my permit.

Honestly a little surprised you need a permit for the standard engine power stuff. It's been ages since I've been involved with the hobby but we used to not need one until we stepped above E class.

Bigger stuff is fun but also hits the pocketbook a little bit more.

I'm in the DC area where anything that goes up in the air is taken very seriously.
