Wind?

[lextek]

How much wind is too much for a beginner to try to hover/fly in with a Trex 450?

For a beginner to TRY to hover??? zero wind is strongly reccomended.

5mph or lower should be fine, once you are experienced, fly in 15mph or if you like a fight, 25mph :lol:

When I started I use to wait for a calm day, yea right! If I did I would be waiting for weeks. Just get used to flying in wind and the calm days will arrive as a blessing.

Early morning and late evening are usually pretty calm

Agreed. It's a tough time of year here in NY.

Any more than 5mph. Ragged

It's not just the wind but the gusts also that make it much more difficult. If the wind was a constant 12km/h that would be fine, but when the wind speed is constantly suddenly changing it makes the heli balloon up or drop down.

I also get the weird stuff like it will seem calm where I'm standing but a tree 300m away looks like it is being blown by a gale... It makes me wonder that it might be calm at ground level but no so much a few hundred meters up.
