Default RE: WIND,WIND,WIND

I live in corpus Christi, TX and it has been very windy here too. But to be honest it is always windy here. I am in Pilot training right now and I have gotten very good at flying in heavy winds.I used to not enjoy the winds when it comes to RC flying but now I have gotten quite used to it. It really depends on the type of plae you like to fly. My 3D planes DO NOT like the wind much so they have spent alot of time in my garage. Most of the time I am flying my Great planes escapade. it turns out that the Escapade is one heck of a windy day plane. I have flwon it in up to 40mph wind gusts and it has handled them quite well. The high wing loading has alot to do with it and the fact that it is a cheap planes make it alot more enjoyable. Flying in the wind takes some getting used to but when you have a plane you dont care about it makes it alot more enjoyable.
