Dave,

Yea the wind stinks. It was the main reason I am well over $700 into a 450 size heli now. (which still hasnt left the ground) [:@][:@][:@]
If only I had a huge gym to fly in all of the time I probably would still be totally happy with my bcpp.
I finally found out that a set of CF blades helps with the wind some too... I long avoided buy CF's because of the price. Maybe some plastic's (which I HATE) would do even better for windy days???

Hopefully your hbk will do better in the wind. Its still pretty small though. I saw a Trex 600nitro fly yesterday in about 15-20mph winds and was awe struck. It was more stable in hover than my bcpp if I breath heavy on it. Ohhh if only I had $1500 to waste(wife's pov) on a hobby.

Oh and dave I understand the busy stuff dont worry about it. I am self employed in the excavation industry and normally I cant even get enough sleep in the summer let alone have time for hobby. Unfortunatly the *&^%&'ers in the real estate world built a huge bubble here in CA and it has burst. My biz is very slow. So you all are stuck with me here online toooo much rambling on and on trying to forget my worries. Sorry everybody for being sucha long winded goof. Anyways I have a big contract starting this next week so I will probably just disappear for a while before long. Then you all will save much time in trying to read this thread.
