Mine was last wekend. My dad and I drove to a park that was perfect for flying. Big open field, and lots of joggers to freak out.
My dad had a friend that wanted to see it, so we waited for him to arrive.
Now, it seemed like a perfect day. Then the wind started to pick up. I would guess maybe 15 mph at least.
Not only did I have to fly it in winds like that, I had an audience I had to please. Oh, and I left my glasses at the house (My eyesight isn't that bad without them. I really only wear them at school and when I fly.), so I had difficulty seeing the light on the back of my FC40.
Luckily (and suprisingly), the worst thing that happened was when the wind blew it over while I landed. The props just got a little dirty.
I wish I had the camera on there. In my crash (Posted a vid on here), the camera mount fell off. I was able to recover everything but a screw, and haven't gotten around to ordering one yet.
