Well Due to the Kak weather of late and lack of enthusiasm its seems to be months between flights for me, just wondering who battles the weather and will freeze there knackers off to get some flying in?

I got a few flights in with Busterboy on Sunday afternoon and a few last Saturday. Fingerless gloves are the way forward

Flew Sunday before last, so cold fingers were numb after around 4 minutes, not a lot of fun. Flew last Saturday, still cold but not as windy, good afternoon. Flew Sunday, very cold but no wind so felt warmer than previous Sunday! Only managed 3 flights due to setting up others helis but a damn fine day.

I've always flown all year round but I have to admit, there are times when it's no fun. I tend not to bother going if its raining hard with a poor forecast but I've been down the field when it's raining and miserable and it's dried out enough to get a few hours flying in.

All in, I guess I'm keen enough, I had some health problems a few years ago which made it too painful and I just couldn't enjoy it but now things are easier, you can't beat a half decent flying session and having the crack with the lads.

I was same as you lee, I hadnt been out for two months due to the misserable weather & it was getting me down a little.
That was untill Saturday when the weather broke & the sun shone so I took my most expensive heli (airskipper 90) out & thrashed the tits off it
To say I came back a happier man would be an understatement.
I went out again sunday for more of the same so if it rains between now & xmass I realy wont mind but if it gets nice again I will be there like a shot.
You got to take your chances when they are offered in the Uk im afraid.

I also got 8 flights in on Saturday as well just trying to get better.


Will be out both days again this weekend subject to weather.


As Ade quoted, Get wrapped up fairly well and start throwing the heli about you soon warm up Lee.

I am am in Yorkshire visiting relatives, and on my way up I stopped in Lincolnshire, had 6 packs flying in my brother in laws garden over the first two days of the trip, and have done another 3 packs here today near Scarborough. hope to get another few packs in tomorrow back at the brother in laws before topping off the week back at my local site on Friday with my rappy 30 and new OS37 which needs a few more tanks to run in.
Cold? you bet
Fun? absolutely this is the most I have flown in weeks.
