Flight 6: Conquering the Wind

Date: 7/8/09 11:30 am

Location: Baylands Park, Fremont

Plane: Parkzone Radian

Battery: 3-cell Thunder Power 2100 Start (full 12.68V), end (11.58V)

Duration: 20 minutes

Notes:

Was windy and a bit gusty (3-5mph wind w/ 9mph gusts), but I rose to the challenge. Had to fight the wind to the north, then would glide to the south back by me. Landings were a bit challenging but I managed it. I felt I had used the propeller more than ever before, however there was little drain on the battery.
