No not at all. I'm flying low all the time and its obvious I'm not putting anyone at risk. If people do show up, I shift to another spot or quit entirely.
But then I fly in the South mostly and folks here tend to be friendlier or at least a bit more Live and Let Live.
fwiw, RMRC has a fantastic starter deal that I wish was available when I got into quads. The Fatshark box goggles in particular are astonishingly good for the price. I actually bought this package deal and put it up for a future backup or to give as a gift if any relative takes to the hobby.

236 with the coupon but youll still need batteries and a charger. But its the best price option for a hi quality starter kit imo.
