RC Flying

Here the weather infomation of the school field where I typically fly; it's only about a mile away.  Honeywell labs are across the street and their weather info is reported real-time; Sandburg's is delayed.  The main thing I like is that you get a graph of wind speed/gust and direction which is really important to know with r/c flying.

28AUG08: Grassfield RC flying field in Brooklyn Park, MN - The event of the day was for "large scale" flying.  Lots of WWII warbirds and even an Autogyro!!!  The winds were pretty tough (passed over a row of trees which gave windshear-type effects), almost every plane had issues with landings and many were damaged.  A couple completely "bought the farm"...unfortunately, I really don't have many pictures of the carnage.
