finally sun and windy but cold.
i turned 30 today (nov.30) and what a great present to have after nearly 3 week of pure rain.
I went to a school park close by and discovered the whole field was under water, so i headed to the other school with better drainage with baseball
fields.
The wind was 20 to 25 mph with gusts up to 30 going by YVR / WG. my trusty Iphone App was reading 20 steady.
I setup the 3m first and it was a blast, however with the amount space I had to run it wasnt much fun. So sized down to the baby 2m. It was more fun
cruising around. it was a fun day to be had, and ill be able to stretch out the legs at nabx. I cant see using the 2m much since the 3m already does a
great job dealing with gusty conditions and I already fly off short lines.
The production model is a bit faster than the prototype version when i last flew them at NABX.
Buggy: PL XR+ Std (no mods)
Lines: 15m on Long Handles, however some might prefer short handles to reduce the control in such high winds.

Happy B'day to Junior today and belated Happy B'day to you Rip'
It looks like our 40 days and nights of rain has ended. I hope you get out again today.
So ..... the Iphone app is about as reliable as ......... an educated guess for wind speeds ????
