But of the two, your Spacewalker will definitely be easier to handle on windy days. When you're ready to really have some fun, get an Ugly Stick and start practicing backwards takeoffs and hover landings!
Jester, your words are wise as always but I'm a bit of a fool, as always and can't help but want to fly in the wind or not. I oonly get a couple of hours here and there between business and kids so I have to take the slot regardless of weather. I've set my limit at 25mph for now but it's the gusts that get you really on landing.
i flew my trainer yesterday and to be honest I found it harder to fly than my space walker. I think half the problem is the crappy magnum powering it. Anyway an so max 40 fp came today so ill try that.
i like the look of those ugly sticks. Can you buy them or are they a plan build?
