Don't Fly on Windy Days

If it seems too windy outdoors to fly, it probably is. Your RC plane or helicopter doesn’t stand much of a chance against wind so it really isn’t worth the risk. Even if you are able to get your aircraft into the air, gusts of wind can cause crashes and could send your aircraft into dangerous areas such as a crowd of people, a tree, or the side of a building.

If you can't fly indoors, wait for a very still, windless day to fly your RC aircraft.

This isn't just advice I've heard from others and decided to pass along. I'm speaking from experience. Don't just stand still and see if there's any wind blowing on you -- look up. You'll be flying up high usually. Check the trees, the tree tops, and even the clouds for movement. Certain heavier aircraft can withstand slight breezes but watch out for gusts of wind.
