Narrative:

After departing runway 27 at plant city (X17) an immediate left turn out was made to avoid conflict of traffic. Possibility of low flight over many homes as I continued to climb out. Someone who owned a home complained to the airport about an aircraft flying low over his home due to much noise from airplane. I was not trying to disturb anyone's rest or quietness on purpose.
