Yup, that does suck. Although 25 mph winds are strong, you can still fly in them, but you must be prepared for stronger gusts, uncontrollable maneuvers and such. Plus, planes that light will feel the effects of thermals. See ya!

If you’re just starting out, keep the wind factor to a minimum. I’d also recommend putting an information sticker/tag inside all your future models. It should contain your AMA number, Name, Address, Phone, and Email. Actually I think it’s required by our governing body, the AMA, or was it my last club?

Someone might find the plane and if you’re lucky, they’ll contact you about it. Down side, let’s say that lost plane caused some harm to person or damage to property…if you’re an AMA member, we’re insured, but???

That DOES NOT MEAN you have an open invitation to ATTACK!!!!!
