Proof of A Really Windy Day

[rcdbutz]

Well, yesterday was a pretty nice day out, so I decided to go out and fly. Went out to the field, and OMG that wind was crazy. I had most of the fleet in the car. I started with the EXI 500 and it was an OK flight, nothing too crazy and the camera didn't work.

These are some flights I managed to get in. The first is a flight of the Typhoon. I was really fighting the wind in there, but it all came in without a scratch:



Next up was the Flying Shark. I had just repaired this one the day before, so prolly should have kept it on the ground. Anyways, as you can see, the wind made it a difficult task to fly:


A little glue and she's back up and running. This little shark is cool looking, but not my favorite to fly.


Finally, I decided, if I can't beat em, I'll join em. I pulled out the kite and finished the day by using the wind to my advantage:


Boy, having a kite with you certainly takes away the sting of wrapping up the day due to strong winds. I want to step this bad boy up now, get some streamers on the end, or a better stunt kite.

OK!!! I AM NOT DOING KITES... FOAMIES ARE AS FAR AS I GO

WELL MAYBE ONE FOR THE KIDS

Nice job, RCD!

I fly kites too!!

They are 100 times easier than RC, until you get into doing stunts.

I can do all manner of stunts with my kites, and I have been lifted off the ground by them, too! That is an experience.

But, RC is way more fun, really.

Nice flyin' RC. That shark looked like it was in a feeding frenzy. ;D

When I'm asked on a particular day if it's too windy to fly I usually reply, "It's hardly ever too windy to fly, but it might be too windy to land in one piece." ;D
