Good (bad) weather settings

[connoleg]

Could someone recommend a set of UK mild weather conditions that would help people get used to flying in such winds/gusts for a Titan 50/ Trex 600 size machine. Am I right in thinking that winds up to 10/12 mph are OK for an beginner/intermediate pilot? If so then some settings around there.

hope that makes sense

Thanks

For a beginner I don't know but I'd say 10-12 too high, by beginner how early in the learning curve are we talking? If they haven't mastered hovering yet (like me) they would struggle in any more than about a 5mph wind.

With a 50 sized heli? Yeah I'd say 10-12mph winds are acceptable even for a learner.
Hell I learnt to fly on a Hornet 2 in similar conditions :P

I'd've thought it wasn't so dependant on the heli as the skill of the flyer.. Ah well, I'm not too proud to admit to wrongness....

Personally i find that the windier that it is, the quicker you have to be on the sticks. I fly a Rappy 30 which is pretty stable in most winds, a 50 is even more stable due to the wee bit extra weight.

Gary you need to stick your hands and Tx in the freezer tray in your fridge to appreciate true UK flying conditions

Something to try in Phoenix is altering the model stability.

Go to.. Main Rotor.. Hovering stability and reduce it a little. That allows the model to wander a little more. Combine that with some wind..
