Hi All, different subject entirely. I have what could be a major storm right off the coast from me. The barometer has dopped almost 1/2". 30.01 to 29.55, in 24 hours. When I could fly, the plane flew more acrobatic than yesterday. So my questions are, has anyone else noted changes in flight profiles in front of storms? Second question, does air temp bother your planes, the colder the air the less power you have? BTW, I now get the surfer guys that go out in front of a storm. Flying in the pre storm environment was a blast. I do want to caution newer fliers, this is a great way to lose an airplane. I came close 4-5 time this afternoon, and I only flew two planes. That would be less than 20 minutes of flight. Both planes were stir stick mods, one single, one double. A stock plane or a standard monomod would possibly been blown away. If you go and mod your plane tonight for wierd wind tomorrow, you'll probably lose it tomorrow. Mod the plane, learn to fly it in normal conditions, learn to fly it in moderately challenging conditions, then try flying in weird conditions.
