Where do you fly in bad weather?

I don't think a bit of drizzle should hurt me heli, right? But I try to fly indoors with my 200 sized heli and I break it every time. I should just wait to go in the backyard when it isnt raining/windy.

Air comp 2012 was very wet.No helicopters failed because of it as far as I'm aware but at least three radio's did.Including the one in the clip.

any excuse to post this again! :-D

Sims are made for this time of year, I sim pretty much every day although I do end up watching the forecast like a hawk waiting for a break in the weather. A little rain isn't too bad, but I just don't want to take the risk, especially with my transmitter. There's usually one or two chances each week to fly, especially if you're prepared to get out in the morning. And night blades are great this time of year, if the wind and rain stop at night I'll often be found lighting up the back garden :-)

Indoors I'd say a 200 is a bit big, you can't really do much with it unless you've got a good bit of space. If you don't get on with a sim, maybe get a cheap little one for indoors, there are some decent small heli's out there, either small fixed pitch, nQX, nCPX, etc...

But then by Summer, you're just going to want bigger ones for outdoors :-)
