It was windy!

40km gusts from the west, rolling over the trees, made flying difficult, but, for the third week in a row, there were no crashes!

Student pilots are to be saluted for their bravery in tackling those winds, and they certainly improved their skills in the difficult conditions!

Great day on the field, lot's of learning opportunities, and many technical mishaps, but the Club get's together to help.
Here is an example of how the whole club solving a "mystery" of new plane rudder control issue.
At the end it was wrong programming on the Radio (Helicopter Setup where rudder moves with throttle).
