sometimes the weather is just to much
15 degrees with the wind chill (in the sunlight) winds 20mph gust to 30mph might want to just say the wind is blowing a almost steady 33mph right now.
I normally say its never to cold and honestly take away the wind I would be out there but with that much wind, its to much. Not only does it cut thru you but my quad and my heli both are leaning into the wind ALOT just to stay stationary. So I have decided to hang it up for the day and work on making all my wiring neater. I have got my quad up to a 25min flight time (2 5800mah packs in parrallel) I can now reach out further as I was limited to a 2 miles range do to power restrictions the el panel to back light my futaba 9z and the 9.9v LiFE pack should be in this week so I will get Them install. Once that is done I will make the final decision on weather or not to keep the 9z as its a GREAT radio but i'm looking at a 14mz or a 18mz

We have horrendous snow here in the UK at the minute. Thankfully its not too cold and the wind is 3mph tonight so im thinking a night flight or two. Lots of thumb twiddling until the weather improves hey? boo and hiss.

Crazy winter weather. Last week, colder than my ex's heart. This week mid 60's,,, on January!
No flying though. Just started 12 hr nites at work and it's taking a tole on me. Woke up early to do a little flying before the sun went down, ( my day off ), around 3pm, and promply fell back asleep drinking my coffee!
