Where should I send flowers?? I crashed a CX like that too. When that breeze decides to kick up it sure likes blowing helis up up up. You dont wanna cut the throttle cuz you know the fall will kill it but if you dont itll go up and out even farther and you might never find it. Its a no win situation. It blows. The outcome, not the wind. Well....the wind does too but the crash just blows worse. Well you know what I mean.

My Feedback: (1)

that stuff happens, I lost a plane when a huge gust of wind came and it blew it away, when Idecided to cut the throttle, it was too late.

Man, that is ashame. I have only gotten mine in a light breeze, but had to fight to get it back to me. I did notice that it seemed a little more powerful if I zig-zag or flown a little sideways.
