Windy Day

What a wonderful BBQ day at the field. Some decent race training even though the wind was blowing continuously during the whole afternoon. I also took the opportunity to rip a pack in freestyle, just to try to see if my rooster could lift a 2200mAh 4s pack with the same punch. Not exactly stellar but for mid-range it will do. That was followed by some long(er)-range action where I went 2.8km out, breaking my previous record of 2.2km. The wind made it so that on the way out, I was averaging 50km/h, whereas the return was clocking in at 120km/h cruising speed! Fly times with a 1800mAh 5s pack were about 6 minutes on 6" propellers and 7 minutes on 7". I didn't use all of the juice in the 2200mAh but could have probably gone 8-9 minutes, noice!
