Windy Conditions.
So, I had fixed my plane after the tree incident, charged a battery in the morning, and set out to do some flying in the field next to our complex. It was breezy, but not too bad. I went ahead and started to fly, and the wind kicked up about 1/4 of the way through the battery. So I started flying into the wind, and the plane was flying like a kite with no string. I did a little inverted flying, a few flips, the rolls were fairly difficult with the wind, but all in all it was allot of fun. Also, the wind kept me from getting too crazy and crashing her. I did the same thing a few days later, so some super heavy winds may keep me down, but those 5-10, maybe 15 mph ones won't kill a really bad urge now. The landings were cool too, bring her down with 1/4 prop or so, and she just comes down still or barely moving, then plops a few inches into the grass. I know flying in the wind depends on the plane, but my beat up e-starter seems to do fine with it.
