Headed out in a bit to the club field. Very windy so I think I'm just going to burn the burgers for todays meeting.
Normally winds 15-20 don't bother me that much but I think it's blowing a little harder. The hex-copter I got will fly in the wind if you want it to blow away. Even though it is fairly big it is not very powerful. Best in winds of 5mph or less. I think I have fallen for these stupid things. Ordered a neat hex frame and HK new K2 flight controller. Going to power it up with six 2830 1000kv motors! should handle the wind. @Terryscustom please don't kill me........

Well...........Yes it is . But I'm going to learn how to get some great vid with it of our beloved gassers. I just don't know if it is worth getting over??? BTW.....At the field I was getting great compliments and heard comments such as "stay around my plane!"........what was that? Oh! "stay the f*** away from my plane!".

I tried the quad thing a few months ago. I just couldn't get into it. The technology is fascinating but the actual flying just wasn't for me. I tried a race quad thinking that might be more fun, but after about 10-15 flights I just wasn't enjoying it. I really need to sell that Immersion RC race quad and my FPV goggles.

I could not agree more about flying them........ But I am going to be a bad ass video guy one day! The "perspective" achieved in video is awesome. I have been practicing and can keep the camera positioned at my subject while flying around it 360 degrees multiple times in very calm weather. I need to build a powerful one though to combat the wind and can do it fairly inexpensively. I am just not ever going to flop out over a grand for one though.

My two flights from today.

Man @cbarnes0061 ! I like that! Need one for my back yard for those days when you need a "quick fix" of flying!
