  • Anyone braving the wind this weekend?

    Its a bit so-so this neck of the woods so thought i would try today (14-16mph 30mph gusts), may be short flights but my engine could do with a bit of running.

    Anyone else out and about?

    Going to risk it today, weather reports very heavy winds in Birmingham, but looks okay so far.

      20 to 23 MPH average gusts between 46 to 53 and considerably worse tomorrow.
      That will be no then.

        Hey Daz I am going to try and have a go later today, hoping a new canopy will arrive today that I want to try out !

        Maybe see you there, I guess BMAC is the venue?

          I went out yesterday with the same wind conditions you're reporting Daz. Was all going well until I caught a gust in the canopy half way round a flip. Oh well spare blades will be here Monday

                  Yes, I am getting my msr out of the closet

                  p.s. No way I'd go out to fly in this wind. Not only it's cold and uncomfortable, but also it's just asking for crash. XCWeather - Forecast for Gu3

                      I'm out, no wind keeps me from having fun, okay maybe 50mph might be a bit OTT

                        Yep will be out later on, It's great fun to try and hover at a constant height, we have a real laugh.

                        Looking forward to breaking my speed record - currently 8 seconds across the field.

                              just looked out side and all the trees are doing the mexican wave , so i dont think my little twister is going anywhere . might go just before sun down if the wind drops and that will give me a chance to test the LEDS aswell
