How much kts or bft is 20 mp/h wind? I still fly with 8 bft wih my parkzone P-47 hehe. Why all belly landers?!?! Make the belly landers with options for retracts not everybody wants belly landers only. Why should i belly land if i have an awesome grass runway at my RC Field?!?! Try more bigger planes! Like gas/glow planes hehe really want to hear more about that! My first plane after i got my flying license for the rc club was a Black Horse P-40 i began at an age of 7/8 i began with a multyplex easystar a year later i could fly it alone handlaunged it myself and landed it in front of me. My seccond plane was a Multyplex Easycub so i could train takeoffs and landings on wheels. And my third plane where i got my license with was a Seagull Arasingstar with a 6,5cc OS Max engine and this was at age 11. And so on. I m now 18 and still flying as much as posible love the hobby!

P.S.
Happy New Year!!!! I wish you as many good flights as posible and as less crashes as posible! Fly Safe, Land Safe And Happy 2016!!!

Thanks for the comments, I just wanted to clear a couple of things up. I agree with you about the warbirds with all the bells and whistles and I have several myself. My point was that I miss a good flying belly lander warbird and they have seemed to disappeared. There great for just going out chucking it in the air and have a great relaxing experience and have no worries about trying to take off and land. In general there also cheaper,lighter and easier to fly in my opinion better for that beginner wanting to take that next step and try a warbird and it gives us more options to fly. Happy flying and thanks for listening- Chris

You can also just let the retracts retractand chuck it in the air and land on its belly 😜 There isnt much of a difference between retracts and non retracts

I think you hit the nail on the head Chris. The FAA and media has completely taken the fun out of the hobby. Now you have every soccer mom and paranoid granny calling 911 anytime someone decides to fly a quad. Can I just say that thus far any law enforcement people I have spoken to have said the same thing... they are too busy with REAL crime to be checking into every report of drones. On one hand this is good in that the 911 dispatch may be able to filter some calls but on the other hand if the person is persistent and a cop has to respond that cop isn't going to be in a very good mood. My thought is if the department's officers know about the FAA's BS at all...Even if it is before Feb 19th, even if it is under 250 grams...if a cop has to respond to a call they are probably going to firmly tell you to register with the FAA. A "just get it done" mentality. Even though it won't solve the 911 reports. Even though it won't change a darn thing. It is incredibly frustrating.
