took out the ranger 600 in the wind 7/11/24

this very very light plane flies good in some wind but when the gusts start up it's hard to handle lol it was 5 mph to gusts of 12 mph lol so i gave up the flight have fun and go fly something

Your skills but more importantly your depth of perception make me quite sad, Gerard. Mine are just about completely shot at my age (same for most of our Old Farts Flying Group) so the trees are always reaching out to grab our toys! 😵‍💫
Still have fun and it's a great social day out. Also picking up the new 500mm Volantex Brushless Mini P-51 today - we'll see how that 1 goes. 😉😊

my eyes are not that good to i'm up in age to and i hit the trees sometimes lol but it is about the fun of flying and getting out of the house

[@Dan-pi6dx]

How do you find the volantex ? And how would you rank it compared to similarish style planes like the conscendo and radian ?

[@gerardmazz]

no comparison to the conscendo but jest as good as the raiden and you can get this plane on amazon.com it is about 120.00 rtf
