    Sick of this wind

    Need to rant.

    Is anyone else getting irritated by this stupid proxy wind? I don't know what it's been like for the rest of the country, but it has been persistently windy for what seems like forever. June has pretty much been a write off in terms of flying for me, I've only managed to get out twice this month! It's not just me, 50% of the display planks from yesterday's Kent airshow didn't fly because of the wind. When will it end!

                      Yep it's been a total write off for me too. It's even harder with a 450 or 500 scale heli

                      it just needs to foxtrot Oscar IMO

                              funny, mine also broke its string and i watched the kite shoot off across the park, fortunately it didn't get too far so was able to retrieve.
