Light wind still riding


I got out for alittle while today and the wind was pretty much poop, good thing there's a monster in the quiver :P I think the wind was around 5mph and temps about 32. Check out the ribbons on the goal posts, barely moving

The field is great! Its a big sports complex and its all nice and flat with only a few small trees and lots of level playing area. In the summer there will be games on the weekends but theres usually lots of room left to fly. I usually dont fly when theres games, just dont want to bring unwanted attention.....

Nice

It's encouraging to see somebody having success on ATB with 5mph winds.

Thanks for posting and motivating ::thumbup::

I noticed that the camera suddenly seemed close to the ground, then we got the body shot showing horizontal. Nice to see that big boy giving you some power in those low winds.

Come fly a 16m RM+ or the Libre 15.5 Spirit. I have top speeds around 35 mph with 5 to 9 mph winds on the coast.
