Default Flying in the Wind

Here's a friendly reminder for those of you who forgot, or those of you who won't go out when the windsock isn't completely limp. Flying in the wind is fun! I was reminded of this fact again today. I am down in Illinois visiting my family this weekend and I brought my Twist on skis. This plane is really light, but is a blast to fly in the wind. I was having a ball just hovering (horizontal, not vertical) in about a 20 knot wind. Then trying the same thing inverted. I had it flying backwards at one point. Landings were completely vertical.

Do yourself a favor and don't put the planes away when the wind blows. You'll be a better pilot and have a lot of fun.
