I went flying today with my Bugs 4 and my H Plus. The wind was 30 plus kilometers hp with gusts hitting almost 40 Kph. Yel was I mad or what?
I tuck the bugs 4 up first and it seemed to handle the wind well until I almost couldn't bring it back from a downwind turn. Full stick forward on high power and it inched its self back, I landed it as soon as I could before well I lost it!.
Well I know why you are reading this you want to know what happened to the H plus ?
I started the Plus up and lifer off without problems and tried to keep it up wind. She flu well considering the conditions but once again I found trying to make headway from a downhill run was painful. 'Ding' you know when the light bulb flashes in your brain ah S**t High speed and sport mode was off. Well yes things improved no end but when I turned off OBS avoidance she flue wonderfully and handled the wind as if it wasn't bad weather at all ?. She lands beautifully even in strong wind.
So the moral of the story is don't be afraid of a little wind when you have a super H plus machine get out there and practice, practice and have fun and keep yourself on your toes.
