Years back we had a totally blown out F3F league meeting in south Wales. The wind was a pretty solid 90mph gusting up and down by about the same as you saw here. I loaded up my back up Acacia F3F with every last bit of lead and flew it. Went okay but the conditions weren't fun really. My old mate Andy Ellison flew his Higgins Rodent and it really went well. Fun days, had to be done!

When you need ballast for your radio...
Thats Bananas! On the coast where i live we have 190mph winds right now. My toyota truck was hovering in my driveway.
Spectacular wind and weather....
Wild day.
Jebus!!!!! Thats chaos!
Nice wind👍 Please show to us landing part of flight too, very interesting.
Was unfortunate that I had my GoPro set to time-lapse for half the days filming so didn’t get some of the flying.
No landings. That's what all the gliders are for!
Gliders don't land. They splat onto the ground.
that's the highest wind speed I've seen in the 20 years I've been flying 😮
On the coast where I live we have 175mph. My toyota truck was hovering on my driveway. 😢
