I wish it wasn't blowing at 30 MPH today

Had a wild idea... where I live there is a canal, man made waterway covered with a thin layer of ice and about 1 inch of powdered snow.
If I could fly I would have done my best to create a classic all be it rough "crop circle" in the middle of the canal with no evidence of access or retreat...it would have been so cool
to create that in the otherwise pristine snow cover..... it would drive the locals here nuts maybe tomorrow

You mean by flying close to the ground in a circular pattern using the pro wash to move the loose snow?

Your bird can fly in 30mph winds [emoji6]. I flew my MP1 in the storms that we have here in Maui. Winds 37, Gusts were 40-44mph according to UAV forecast.
Very stable flight. You just have to take off and land in a secluded area that’s protected from wind. Once in the air, no problems

Good to know. I also live on Maui and have been hesitant to fly in high winds. Buy I took a chance yesterday flying over the ocean to some whales and it was no problem. My confidence is growing!

Kalepolepo park (end of kaonoulu st) in Kihei was where I took off from the beach. Around 1400’ out, there seems to be a mom and baby hanging around the “fishbowl “.
Also fly out by Makena Landing is a great spot.
