Howdie Folks,

I am in the early learning stages of flying my helicopter (Raptor 30) I can hover pretty much stationary and move around (tail in) both left and right.

I was out this evening getting some practice in, but i was faced with the following situation... Wind coming from the west.. sun dropping in the west! Ok, for the first 20 mins or so it wasnt too bad as the sun was not totally in my eyes, and i could fly slightly off the wind direction, but as the sun dropped further i thought it wise not to fly... So i decided how about a couple of short hovers with the wind behind me? Now the wind wasnt too strong or that gusty, so i tried it and found it wasnt too bad.

What i am after knowing... Am i getting into a bad habit early on in my flying? This is the kind of thing i want to avoid untill i am more confident.

Thanks in advance.
