Title: Flying today - Sunday Aug. 14
Post by: Michael on August 14, 2016, 07:53:52 AM
After yesterday's rain, I'm willing to tackle today's minor wind.

I'll be at the field at about 1pm to have some fun.

Anyone else?

Hi Michael - I just came back from the morning flight.  Wind gust to 26km/h N/W to West.  My planes took off within 1 foot. 

While flying towards the south side, caught the strong west cross wind. Got panic plus lost orientation from the sun...  Crashed my old T-28 :'(   

I am charging the 4S batteries right now.  Will join you later this afternoon.   :)

A bugger for punishment, aren't you Oscar? 

Welcome to the club.

Later, I noticed when Jim and Mike flew theirs, their planes flew within N/E area as well about the same height as the trees.  The AM team sure knows how to deal with the morning sun and the cross wind.  I always enjoy learning something new from them.  :D
