New Reactor - True low wind


Seems the wind chart has been revised from the old one:


http://www.peterlynn.com/buggying/reactor/

If you own any size; what have been your personal experiences as far as the true low end for buggy use?

Also too; what do you feel is the upper wind range for the sizes you have?

That looks about right. I haven't flown the new 10.8 yet, but the 8.6 gets me going in pretty low winds. I tap out well before their high wind setting shown and opt for smaller sizes. Inland gusts can send it over the top in a hurry.

I've flown the 8.6 in 17mph gusting to 20 believe it or not. This was in nice eastern Atlantic ocean breeze. No way I would try that inland. I was getting huge floaty jumps and it was too strong to solo land, but very manageable while static. Would have had crazy acceleration but low top speed in the bug due to being overpowered. Same wind the 3.5 starts to really pull you.
