Avoid Crashes: Know the Maximum Safe Wind Speed for your RC Aircraft before you fly!

Pouring through instruction manuals is not fun for most RC fliers, especially when the weather's gorgeous and we can't wait to get outside and fly our RC planes and helicopters. But it absolutely must be done.  Save yourself a lot of grief and money:  read those pesky instructions and follow them.  Wind gusts and wind speed in excess of the maximum safe speed for your craft can cause costly crashes.  Here's a chart that can come in handy when there's nothing else available to help you gauge the current wind speed. If you'd like a copy of this wind speed chart, which includes the Beaufort Wind Force Scale and information on how to interpret windsocks, Contact Us and we'll send you a copy.
