@XtremeRCTV I agree with you there, it's a ton of fun for me still, even though I've gotten a lot of other planes since this one. I still like to get it out once in a while and just fly the wings off it. Great plane.
@MrThatsYe I also find this little plane to handle wind remarkably well! I actually have a lot of fun flying with it in some pretty heavy winds. Only problem is I generally fly if off the street in front of the house and it can be tricky as the wind is rolling off houses and very turbulent. Makes for fun landings! Thanks for watching and commenting.
@justlostagain yeah it can barely fight the wind sometimes and wind vains can get annoying but other than that it does handle well! you'rs looks a lot better than mine though because i've had many crashes so i had to take off the tape and make a lot of adjustments to make it fly like new
@bryanewyatt It was pretty breezy, probably easy 5-10 mph (15 kmph) with gusts above that. I am quite comfortable flying in that level and anything lower, above that I find I just have to fight the wind too much, and it gets blown around a ton. (It cuts the wind nice head on, but you bank and it just gets yanked around.) Higher winds make for nice harriers, etc., but in the calm you can do more acrobatic flying. Lots of fun either way.
@mayi420uplease Saw your video, looks like the battery certainly helps out. (Not that these little guys need a lot more power!) What is the make of those batteries, I might try looking them up on EBAY.
@justlostagain Parkzone makes a 250mAh 3.7v lipo but they run $10 and up. the 240's give off a bit more power. i use heavier velcro and a styrofoam spacer. i haven't used the lipo it came with but one time.
@YourFriendlyMe It can do knife edges a LOT better than this video showed. It was pretty breezy so I was having to put a lot of ANGLE to the knife edge to fly it straight, but no problem with a straight vertical knife edge in calmer weather.
I believe to you COULD hover it if you do a little adjustment to the elevator throw (shows how in the manual) but I have NOT done that. I can do a half reasonable harrier and in wind pretty much hover it. It has loads of power.
@YourFriendlyMe Yes it can :) I was doing that earlier after flying my nitro trainer. (completely different, LOL) Put it on high rates. (if you are coming from the left then hard left rudder) Try it up high first then try it lower :)
I love this plane its so much fun!

How windy do you think it was? How much wind would you feel comfortable flying it in?
