Wind question
 

what mph wind is too much for a sig kadet senior wityh a .46 engine with an 11/6 prop i am good at flying in the wind and crabbing in to a landing. but i just dont want to much wind to take my plane away. :-)

RE: Wind question
 

Depends on how big a set you have got! On my larger planes 25 to 30 mph winds the planes are still flying OK,but landings are tough,on the trainers I'll usually quit giving lessons around 15mph,landings get real hairy with the light wing loading. On a fun fly I flew in winds over 35 mph,was a blast.;)

Yep I'll agree with Terrell. It doesn't hurt your learning curve to fly on windy days. But with the light wing loading of your trainer wind speed of 15mph or more makes landings a challenge to say the least. My only suggestion is if you fly on days with these windy conditions. Make the effort to keep the model near the field. A lot of beginners let the model drift down wind and don't realize how far away they have gotten. If the engine quits suddenly!!! You may not land on the field.
Takeoff's are optional, Landings are Mandatory !!!
Fly in the wind. It's when you really learn to fly. Hurricanes are a bit much though! LOL !!! [&:]
