G'day Volkert,
Force 6 wind is about what we were flying in yesterday here in Sydney. The wind was gusting to 50kmh with an average of 33kmh. Nice temperature of 26C though and a clear blue sky. People probably think we're mad flying in this wind but often it's the type of weather we're presented with at comps. Good practice in my opinion.
It will soon get to the point where I need to warm my batteries before use.[:@]
I really can't appreciate what you guys go through in winters. On one hand it would drive me mad no being able to fly, on the other hand you could get a lot of building work done..

I do take a lot for granted weather wise.
Cheers
Jason.
