Hi all,
I know that the answer to this is probably - Don`t fly when its windy!
But here in Wales UK, its often windy and even when calm, by the time I've charged up 6 Lipo`s - it usually becomes breezy
This is a snapshot of yesterday`s flying:
I flew the second hand B400 yesterday (my spare bird for trying new manoeuvres I`ve practised on the Sim) and all went well, except the wind picked up midway through flying. I was flying with 50% DR and a 70% throttle at mid-stick onwards and was getting jolted around by gusts of wind. I increased the head speed to 0,75,90,90,90 which did seem to help with stability but, control became more sensitive? I changed DR to 70% which enabled me to react quicker to gusts? I am just flying basic orientation circuits at the moment, but the wind eventually meant, I could only hover (fighting to do even that) for the last two battery packs (I only fly for 4 mins / pack as I don`t have to put them all back to storage charge afterwards.
Any advice is greatly appreciated?
Thanks
Blade
