Hey guys, Anyone else being grounded because of the wind? We've had constent winds of 20mph with gust of 30 for the past 2 almost 3 weeks. I hate the wind, I have a new plane waiting to be maidened. The winds to bad to even take my boat out and fish right now[:@]. Maybe it will let up soon, I hope

Airplanes don't know there's any wind.

Go fly.

Maybe trade you the wind for the rain and mud.

The wind is straight across the runway. I dont mind the wind if its down the runway, no problem. but right now its tuff just to get into the air with out the wind rolling the plane over into the ground. Maybe I'm just a little scared too[X(].

~O-klahoma where the wind comes sweeping down the plain~

I don't feel bad for you. We're supposed to get another 3 to 6" of snow today [:@]

Was it windy on Sunday? We got to choose wich direction to take off cause there was absolutely no wind. It was awesome.

A windless day is like hitting the RC lottery, in my opinion. A strong wind is like a crying baby at the table next to you.

I feel your pain. The one day (Sunday) that there was no wind, and I had to work[:@]. I have a plane that needs its maiden voyage too.

Sunday was the best day I've seen in in weeks and I had a Birthday to go to[:@] then was forced to go out and eat with family[>:] So I missed the best chance I had. I let my wife know that the next nice day no matter what is going on I'm going to be flying We'll see how that goes[X(]

I learned along time ago, go flying wind or no wind, sometimes even in the light rain

use floats for the snow, if you let the weather stop you , you will never get to fly!

Hey Minnflyer I thought thats why they made skis and floats? We dont ever get enough snow for that, well we have'nt in a couple years. I dont think we even got an inch this year.

We generally have a breeze that blows all the time here but this is crazy.

I want to make you guys feel jealous... here where I live, I can fly ALL YEAR LONG! There is no snow here!

Yeah, but we can drink water from the tap up here.

hmmm... I hope that wasn't a racist comment

It wasn't, just a statement of fact!! It was blowing at a pretty steady 45 yeasterday and I tried to get some of the guys to go out for a wind fly, no takers. I was just wanting to teach wind flying to some of the guys that are afraid of the wind. Then last night I got a call from one of the guys that did go out, said he couldn't get his plane together even on the lee side of his van. Maybe my bright idea wasn't so good after all. It's looking great right now and supposed to be a 1mph wind at noon so several of us are going out in a few minutes. Wind isn't always your friend!!

No, it was in reference to Montezuma's revenge.[sm=thumbup.gif]

I have no idea what you are talking about, it is Moctezuma, but Brett, can you please avoid making that kind of comments? I feel very upset because of that. We are here to talk about RC and everything related to it, there is no need to start with this kind of things.. don't you think?

We had nice spring weather here in central Kentucky on Saturday and early Sunday, but the winds were 25+. I didn't go out to the field. Monday was great though, mid '50s and 5-6 mph winds. With the time change several of us were out flying after work.

Mid '70s today, but rain and wind again. Ugh.

You said you wanted to make us jealous of you by noting that you never get snow. I replied by inferring you can have your no snow weather because we have drinkable water. If you travel to Mexico from the US, you're always warned not to drink the water. There was nothing hateful about it.

Montezuma's Revenge http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=montezuma's+revenge

Some people are always over sensitive.

nevermind.. I thought that you were different; by the way, it is still Moctezuma.

Check the english version. I think the n is added and the c is dropped when translated. Kinda like Jesus Christ and Jesus Christo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moctezuma_II

Thats Ok Brett, I thought it was funny, I guess its an Okie thing.

I want to know how in the heck stating that you are supposed to stay away from the tap water in Mexico is racist!! You have got to be kidding me right? You feel very upset? I think it's time to brush it off. If he stated anything remotely racist you would have the right to be upset, but with this you are just looking for attention. Everyone from america knows to not drink the water from the tap in Mexico because our digestive system CAN'T handle it, therefore giving us Montezuma's revenge. This is a fact, and has nothing to do with racism. I love it when people can dish it out, but not take it.
