Woohoo that would be tricky ! 15mph gusts in Basingstoke and I have the 600e in the car, may as well see how it is at the field after work

Look if I can fly in 17mph winds ( well that's the metoffice said it was at lunch ) then anyone can. Extreme tail in hovering in the wind, yeeehaaa

[wadders]

Think I will set the gusts to 40 or 50 mph, on phoenix and see how it goes! Lol! 300mph however is slightly different! Lol

Gasser weather. Was there a wind?

Blaaaaaaa blaaaa! Lol

Hmmmm, typical!!! Winds calming down!! Should I trek over to feltham again?!?

Yeah, look at mine.
I go back to work on Monday - rubbish. It's very nice at the moment but I can't go out - back to 25mph+ gusts tomorrow and the rest of the week. Just came back from the beach and if weather stays like that for next couple of weeks, I am going to trade my helis for a windsurfing board, makes more sense.
Last break I had in April, was blowing 30 mph as well, zero flying, so far only 2.5 months were flyable this year (less than 20 mph). Weather is only reason I am holding off with big machine (I won't fly anything in more than 20 mph, I don't see any fun in it, even a 700 gets blown around, seen it at the field), this is my first season and to be honest I constantly ask myself if it's worth it, thanks to usual awful weather.

Windsurfing board and maybe a kite for kite surfing. Not sure if I am fit enough for kite surfing, it's been a couple of years since I windsurfed last time I feel it coming back to me though.

This is much more important than flying a rc helicopter, so lets' hope it rains for you. Personally, I don't mind the rain, it's wind which gets on my nerves, especially when the rest of the weather is great.
