| Re: cx2 in its intended environment
I agree also that CX2s are made to fly indoors. My first flight outside was on a calm morning at a city park. Winds zero when I started my practice flight. When I got in my second battery, the wind picked up to 3 to 5 mph which was not bad. Correction on the bird was difficult. Then a gust came and lifted my CX2 about 60 feet into the air. I paniced and tried to steer her back to me with little success. I dropped the throttle and down she came like a rock, then powered-up about 25 feet from the ground. Beads of persperation flowed down my brow. Landed with a small bounce! Session over! Packed it up and went home.
The second outdoor session was all most a repeat of the first.Fronting my house but during the late afternoon hours. No wind, flying good, then a swirling light wind come in from all direction. Darn! Wheeled her in and went inside. |
