In this video, Hayley, Harry and I visit my flying field of choice (it's yet to be given an appropriate name).

I thought the wind wouldn't be too bothersome, but it was just a bit above what I'm comfortable with at this point in time. I absolutely love getting the plane up in the air and it would be an absolute tragedy if I lost or crashed it due to haste and a lack of patience. Given sufficient practice and time in the air during calm weather, I will eventually work up towards the challenge of breezy weather. But for a novice - it's not worth the risk!

Harry sees some dogs and loses his marbles. Nothing new, folks!
