I'm in Maui, Hawaii this week and I did bring my Inspire 1.....I'm from South Louisiana and HIGH WIND for us is about 20 MPH.....
Yesterday, I was wanting some awesome footage of the cliffs and rocks, but the Trade Winds was really kicking!! I estimate at least 40 MPH.....you could not just stand up....it would blow you over....I took off and quickly just landed.....I was so afraid of that wind flipping the Inspire 1 over and crashing.....YOU CRASH on these rocks you just leave it there....there is NO FIXING THAT KIND OF CRASH!!!!
So, I guess my question is.....is it possible to flip the inspire 1? Could the wind be so strong that it would do that? OR would it just push it......
My reasoning for NOT FLYING was that the fastest I have ever been able to fly my Inspire 1 was about 38 MPH.....so.....if I were to take off in a 40 MPH wind...seems to me that if I was down wind, I could never get it back.....that the strength of the wind would prevent me from being able to fly home.
Is that REASONABLE thinking????
I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this kind of problem?????
