18-46mph winds down our way today I wouldn't throw a blade of grass up in that

Can't say I noticed any high winds on my ride in. Did see plenty of evidence of high winds during the night though, seaweed all over the Eastern Road. Excess water (flooding I think they call it) Supposed to have got to 53mph (allegedly).

For those not in the know:


So, 3 feet. Steady hover over nice grassy bit. Throttle Hold. Heli floats down. By the time it is a few inches from the ground the blades have stopped.

Nice one Vikki.

I started to use his technique last week as the winds up here in Yorkshire are getting a bit "nithery", it works fine for me.

Still amazed how well this little machine copes with gusts, certainly improving my thumb control
