RE: wind speed
Scenario:16 oz electric Fromosa. Wind speed 30 MPH gusting to 45+. Top speed of the Formosa, 35 MPH.
Launched into the wind, and the gusts where bad. 5 minutes into the flight, and it is two hundred yards downwind away from me, and I'm losing ground. A few lulls in the wind allowed me to get it within 100 yards. Now my 10 minute timer is going off on my TX, and I know I am about out of juice. Thankfully, another lull in the wind, and I was able to get it within 50 yards of myself. Landed, picked it up, and went home.
