Who does what ?

Just been making plans for weekend and just thought i would ask everyone ...

What do you do ( hobby wise ) when the wind is bad / howling ?

I'm planning on going powerkiting with my kite buggy to Camber / Greatstone on Monday .....

[Grant85]

When it's too windy to fly my helis i just sit at home and sulk :( lol!
or i get the stunt kite out :)

[3d_willz]

i like to fly my power kites when its windy aswell. i had a flexifoil blade 4 and a flexifoil stacker.
apart from that i get mugged off and have to do some diy or something like that.

[stuskimac]

Drink beer and sulk !

on 2 weeks holiday off work, only flown 2 times in the first week, yesterday would have been great, but i had a family funeral to attend, next weeks forecast isn't great either ! bet the weather will improve when i go back to work. Does anyone know if they do an allweather r/c chopper ?

Lightweights not flying in the wind.:D

Get out there and fight the elements.:cheers2:

If we only flew when there is no wind, we'd only get about two flights in a year!! Just stick her up there and brave it, adds to the buzz of heli flying!!!

If it is rainy I usually stay at home and sulk/clean/shop. Once that is done I usually go off with my Scale trucks up at the forest nearby. The trees shelter us a bit of the rain. Or I carry on building my truck, busy with a seriesII at the mo.

Pics of my trucks!!

:svengo:I don't know what's worse a ship of shame or the ubiquitous round of applause and the usual "what happened", to which my usual reply is "It crashed into the ground and just exploded" :D:D
