Hi colstonman, I think Darth said most of it. But "blustery" and "change-able" winds are the most difficult to deal with. If the wind is producing a steady "blow" I don't mind flying in it at all (I live in England and if I was to wait for perfect flying conditions I'd probably never get to fly at all!)

One thing I'd add though is this: Always try to fly up-wind whenever possible. This way the wind will always blow the model back towards you and you'll have to work to keep it up-wind. This is much better than flying down-wind and then having to work to get the model back to you (although I know this doesn't help with "blustery" conditions)

Another thing I'd say is: Once you are competent flying in the wind, you'll be a lot more competent when it's calm. For me flying in the wind adds an extra challenge, and these days I enjoy the windy challenge just as much as flying in the "good" conditions we sometimes (rarely!) get here

Good Luck,

Tony
