Get out and fly!

[Former Member]

It's officially the summer here in the USA, and warm weather abounds. If you havent flown your bird in a while, it's time to take a break from your busy schedule and get out and fly! Charge your battery, do a preflight, and go have some fun. Before you know it, the cold weather will be back, and its just much easier to enjoy your Mavic when it's warm out.

Yes sorry, but those of us who live in cooler climates know what Im talking about. Long winter, short summer. Anything below 75°f is cold for me

Short summers in Scotland?

 

[MavicScot]

Aaarrrrggghh Don't remind me about flying! Just had a hip replacement last week and no flying for weeks. ( we're lucky if we get a couple of good weeks weather in Scotland for summer)

There's another good picture for this - 'I love summer in Scotland - this year it was a Wednesday'. It's been warmer recently but the winds have been wild so I've not been able to get the Mavic out at all, so far I've been able to get it out more in winter although hanging about with the Mavic when it's freezing it's not great.

Unfortunatly for us here in the desert the so called winters are the flying weather. Unless you like broiling out in the sun

Fly at night then. Thats what I did last week when it was 105 during the day

In kansas we could fly year round temp wise, but the dang 30+ winds that blow 3-6 days in a row don't help us at all! Oh, and a 30+ wind here is called gusty!

I fly at-least once or twice on both of my days off every week, here in South Dakota the summers are short and the winters are long, I will be flying my Mavic in the winter no doubt, I've taken my P3 out in low teens in the winter time and I intend to with the Mavic. Either way it doesn't matter what season, i'm flying.

I feel your pain, its always windy here in South Dakota too. There's hardly a day that the wind is below 10mph, most of the time its around 20mph. At-least i've learned that the Mavic can handle wind.

That's one of the reasons I got it. It can handle 30mph winds.. it may not like it and can be scary at times but it does good.

Mavic performs very well in cold temperatures -35 for sure

I would love to get out and fly more! If only this stupid rain would stop. Rain's in the forecast here through next Wednesday and it's rained almost every day for the past month. My granddaughter affectionately refers to my back yard as Lake Mentone.

Yeah, just love getting into those hot cars in the summer! I limit my flying to mornings and just before dark in the summer. I tried to fly with my goggles one afternoon and I was sweating so bad my glasses were fogging up.
