Went to FNS Eastern slope this morning hoping to try DSing my Electron 54". However, the wind was too strong I the plane goes too fast that I cannot handle. :roll:

The wind was from east-northeast and was too strong. There would be too much turbulance in FNS. Small planes will be too jerky to DS in this situation. Try to use big moldy plane, you will be surpise of the stability and the speed it can achieve.

Hi Wingdragon,

I also went to FNS on Sunday with my Mini-NYX.
It was absolutely exciting with the strong wind and endless lift. I am totally agree with Stanley that using a moldy to practise DSing instead of EPP.
In fact, moldy can be repaired. So don't worry.

Happy DSing.

Your mini NYX is awesome, I seen it DS last time even with very moderate wind. I definite need more practice in the future!
