Default Thought I was going to lose the Slow Stick last night......

I went out last night around midnight to do a little night flying.......turns out, the wind above 100 feet was quite strong and it started to push the plane away from me. It took me a good 15 minutes to fly it back to the parking lot at 75% throttle (Eflite 400 brushless motor). Had me worried for a while.

The entire flight is RPV. 100% from takeoff to landing. I never once looked at the plane while it was flying or landing.
