Crashed? Discussion and Photos > one reason not to fly in 30+MPH winds

I guess I finally learned why it's not a good idea to fly in 30+MPH winds with a little 6lb electric machine..

I was doing some HUGE tailslides and got hit by a gust just as I was adding positive pitch

As you see...it wasn't quite enough though

Anyone need a single rotortech 550mm blade?

Roxxters ROCK!!!

I have flown my T-rex 450 in 30mph+ winds, I was at an airport and a cessna warrior could not land because it was to windy.

sorry for your loss

No problem.....

I took my check ride on a Warrior back in 1984.........but that's not to say I'm beyond learning something new or learning about something that I wasn't aware of ........
