My limits with the Radian Pro

At my boss's suggestion, I took the day off yesterday. Winds were between 10 and 13 mph so I thought I'd see how the Radian Pro would perform in these winds. I used a 1600mAh battery to give her a bit more nose weight to penetrate the wind. Both take-offs were uneventful and she climbed well, of course with the wind blowing into her. But once at altitude I found it challenging to hunt for any thermal activity because I just couldn't get her where I wanted to get her. Both landings were hair raising and on the first flight I had to use power to climb out of a bad landing attitude. Good thing is that both landings were soft enough not to yield any damage. What I learned from this day is not to fly the Radian Pro in winds 10mph or greater. Can't wait for calmer winds, hopefully this weekend.

Happy flying.
