It's a no no for me too, but I just got caught out! After I hosed my Hadron 3 wing down a few months ago and it was literally dripping wet, I kited it and it flew just fine. If I ever get caught in the rain I trim out, get some altitude so I can throw a reserve and do shallow turns to avoid stalling the wing.
If it got heavy with no sign of letting up, then I'd land. I could see in this case it was moderate and reducing. I trimmed out with minimal inputs to avoid a stall.
Another great video Mark. Amazed that you got 3 flights looking at the weather forecast. Looked like a good turnout despite the weather, must try and get there next year.
Superb edit Mark. You definitely saw more of Wales than we did. Was not comfortable at all flying in the rain. ha ha. Great to see you again. We will definitely see you at the next one.
Great edit, Mark! 👍👍 Good to see you there! I was flying the same direction in your first flight, surprised we didn't meet in the air! Though I missed the rain - turned back before reaching Conwy... To be fair, we got more flying than the forecast was suggesting, so it was a win!
Flying in the rain?! You've got at least 6 more balls than I do! Great vid man
It wasn't raining when I took off and I didn't intend to do that, but sometimes that's just how it goes in the UK!
Had my 1st flight yesterday, it was scary as hell and amazing at the same time.
It was your videos that made it happen.
Thanks Mark!
Sweet, glad to hear it!
Luvly Jubbly ... BUT... flying in rain is defo' a 'no no' for me ... as you may know 🙃😉
Those bands sounded the biz 😃

Great video as always wetter than expected but at least we got a few flights & a bit of sight seeing in 😁
Absolutely, it was definitely worth it.
Aside from the crappy weather.........it looked like a good time!
It was!
How much rain before you'd land out for safety?

Beautiful part of the country, but single digit temperatures in the summer..... omg
I know right, the weather here this year has been particularly bad.
Great video Mark

Yes I was considering not going because of the weather, but glad I went and I was surprised myself that I managed three flights!

To be honest I wasn't comfortable in the rain either, see you at the next one!

If I had taken off 30-40 mins earlier I probably would have been fine! Oh well...
Great Video Mark!! looked good apart from the rain. 😊
Nice video!
That rain makes me feel slightly less unhappy that I chose not to go this year. Maybe next time!
It was worth it though to hang out with people.
Nice video again Mark see you in the air soon
Hope so!
