Just warming up to the old plank days where I would fly in wind strong enough with my .40 to fly it backwards. Like riding a bike...I didn't forget how to do it...WELL. No stupid stuff though (loops/rolls), I had all I could do to keep it upright. My son said "you were all over that stick the whole time". I intentionally made the approach into the GAIL and cut the motor, had to dive it in and flare at the last second. Even I was a little impressed especially since I know I had no business being out there in the first place.

Thanks for the KUDOS!

for a model that is LIGHT, has no AILERON defense and a small RUDDER, flying in 12mph wind is A VERY HIGH ACHIEVEMENT, I congratulate you....
REALLY, I do !
but we know that your fingers are nimble enough, since you are a HELI PILOT !!!! [sm=teeth_smile.gif]
