Default Windy, so what. Got to fly!

So I've been waiting for some nicer weather to go flying, but it always seems to be too windy.
Look outside Saturday morning and there seemed to be little to no wind, getting all set up to go to a local field.
By the time I'm all set the wind really picked up.

I deff still a noob but have to get some air time so go for it anyway. Glad Idid no shakes this time practicing hovering. Even with all this wind Istill felt in control. I cant wait for perfect conditons. Isay go for it, get out and fly.

Had a lot fun, think Ineed a larger bird my 450 Pro gets tossed around quite easily.

Don't give up!!!

Thanks

Nick

LOL I am the same way. I used to take my Raptor 30 out in 25 to 30 mile an hour winds. Couldn't do any more than hover but I tell you what my skills are a hell of a lot better because of it. Helis handle the wind better than other aircraft.

I feel your pain. It has been windy here too. I have a 450 as well and it was too windy for me to fly the other day. I got it into a hover and it was tossing me around big time. So I called it a day and pressed on. I do have a 600 that I am building right now. It is so huge compared to my 450. It blows me away every time I look at it.

Get a 600 or bigger and forget about the wind. 

A good gust with a 450, and you will be searching for it in the next state over.

I have a 600 that I am building right now. 450 does pretty decent in the wind, just getting higher than normal winds.
