i have my P3P now, indeed I have had it for a few weeks. But health problems, rain and now wind keeps it grounded.
I have some experience flying RC helicopters. But this is a new experience. Can someone advise me what sort of winds I should start to fly in please? I know what is recommended but that may well be for experienced pilots.
I live on the coast, literally a few yards from the sea, with a prevailing wind that blows off it on to the land. Apps like Hover say frequently that I can fly, but my own weather station tells me speeds are often too high. I cannot get detailed upper winds , between say 100-1000 feet, but. The upper air plots are not accurate enough. So I am trying to err on the safe side and not run my newly acquired drone on its first few flights.
Many thanks
Mike
