Did YOU fly today??

[gazmk2]

I got our for a couple of hours yesterday, sadly the max v2 is awaiting new ball links but the newly fbl converted raptor 50 and protos 500 made up for it!

it is too windy to fly only if
the heli is blown backwards in flat out forward flight
or
the wind blows you off your feet

I might be a pussy then because I just quit when it becomes a battle and I'm not enjoying it any more. When that happens depends on what I'm flying but yesterday it was about 25mph gusting 35. I was the only one at the field everyone else much have took a look out of the window and not bothered.

Have to agree here. On Saturday it was really windy to a point where although you could fly it was far from enjoyable. That's the point where you should admit defeat and take the heli home in one piece

I flew yesterday. It was a bit breezy at sunny MK but I had five good flights (i.e. nothing broken).
I hadn't flown for four weeks but it's rather like swimming or riding a bicycle.

Unfortunately at my club there's a two member minimum rule and I'm one of the only heli flyers. So for me it's 'too windy' when the planks won't fly..... which is basically almost any amount of wind at all and it has been constant 15-20mph with gusts of 30-40 so it's been a looooooooooooong time since I've flown.

Two flights yesterday while the wife was cooking Xmas dinner. Great weather for flying yesterday but today it's more suited to RC boats

[Mike Sanders]

I think the two member rule is a sensible one. If you cut your arm off you need someone to be able to dial 999.

It was very gusty today at MK-on-the hill so I just had a short flight to prove to myself that I could do it.
The wind was no problem for Waveydavey who threw his (e)700n around with great gusto and skill.

New year, new club?!

[dillwhacker]

If there's no one there to witness you flying when no one is there - why would a tree falling in the forest make any sound?

New year, new club?!

Yeah I will be going back over to Hanworth and get a feel for who's there on weekdays, the one downside is that it's electric only after a certain time, either noon or 1, something like that, whereas at Epson Downs I can fly anything. I also got an email from what used to be the Kempton club saying they have continued the lease agreement at Osterley cricket fields and I can renew quite cheaply but I have never flown at Osterley so I really should go have a look, see what the journey is like etc.

[Coxy]

4 flights for me today, little gusty again but then again its windy 340+ days a year up at our field, lol.when its a still day that's a bonus.... Also got a bit of catching practice in which was a bonus, but that's another story

[dszabo]

2 flights on the Logo 550sx and 4 on the 700e Dominator, all controlled with my new Blue Vbar Control. Happy day's

[GIXERMAN]

today could of started very bad 2nd e700 of 3 maidened and savox 2272sg tail servo decided to quit (let say i got in a spin) managed to get down with just some mud on skids, then had 3 flights on no1 e700 without any dramas.
