I had great fun earlier this week in a 10-15mph wind simply hovering in a harrier position with no forward movement and throttle just ticking over. Wing rock almost minimal -- this plane just keeps on surprizing.
Thanks! I can't wait to get it up in some real wind. Hoping that this will be my 10-15 MPH fly any day plane! I just added a Eagle Tree Guardian 2D/3D gyro jic on those gusty crosswind days. I have the ET installed on 2 other planes and works like a champ! I only turn it on for a landing assist tho... Kind of a "cheat" but I'd rather get it down in 1 piece! It is amazing as it locks your course in like a string line. Thanks again!
