Default RE: High Wind RC Aircraft

Have the engine for the 150 just waiting on the Pitts muffler then the gasser will go on it. i know it will fly good in the wind my 40 does great and i preffer to fly it in the wind. Putting that 26 CC Gas engine on it is what going to be the challenge but i'm certainly going to make sure there is some wind the day i go and maiden it.

I think the Lancair i just finished will fly good in the wind. might also be a good idea to have some wind the day i Maiden it to prevent the tip stalling that the plane is so well known for on landings. But one thing this town is know for is the wind there are windmills everywere and i fly near a glider airport if thats any indication as to how much wind there is here.

If you have a park flyer in this town better wake up at the crack of dawn when there isnt any wind if you want to fly. But really like hearing about all the other planes that fly good in the wind.

Can see the wheather isnt any better there in the pic. But at least your flying. Been too windy here lately 40 to 50 MPH gust. So simulator for awhile tilthings calm down. Gonna make my own wind sock. been thinking about what to use. Have an old tent bag i'm thinking of trying out.
