Default RE: The Badius Owners Club

Well I finally got 2 flights in with the Badius today after close to 2 weeks of not flying, and it was pathetic.
The conditions were 99% humidity, rain [:-], 35 degrees, winds 12 with 20mph gusts. Now the rain didn't bother me, nor did the wind but I couldn't get the Badius more than 200 ft high.
I tried small, consistent amounts of up elevator at full throttle - nothing. Flew directly into the wind gusts expecting the Badius to rise like a kite - stu gatz.

I recall Roger saying that the air is "heavy" on humid, rainy days. Could this be the reason my Badius couldn't get up high today [sm=confused.gif] Maybe I'll take some viagra the next time I go flying

Ciao,
