Back on the 10th of November just before the recent cold weather set in we had some days with favorable wind. During this time I was able to manage to manipulate the wind long enough to make a decent Flytrex Top Speed flight pass. I had been logging the amount of time in between each of the biggest wind gust. This was taking place about every 30 minutes. Something else I discovered with the wind during this time was, the wind was coming straight from the south. But, the hard wind gust would come from the southeast. I still stayed with the southern wind for the flight passes I made. Also, it is next to impossible to return to starting point with winds that are 20mph+. When in either Phantom or ATTI Mode the quad will eventually start dropping altitude in attempt to fly with wind resistance. It wont stop going downward until you lift from trying to fly forward.
I'm now 9th overall out of 2002 other flytrex pilots from around the world. The 1st place guy's speed is 85.29mph. He uses a inbred type quad the kind with no bodywork. He shows it has something to do with TBS Discovery. And his graph looks really strange in the speed part. It looks like a short spike as if he throws it from a mountain top. My speed graph is long with a gradual climb to peak, which makes sense.
