Please don't fool around with Sandy!!!!

[Doctor Bob]

As a casual observer and a whopping 2 hour student, I would hate to read about another ground incident and gusty winds. I don't want to read about someone balling up their machine or themselves. I know it's tempting to get out there and try and duplicate those cool videos where the guys are taking off vertically, flying backwards, and doing all sorts of fun and crazy stuff. Just keep in mind those are some serious professionals with lots of hours and maybe even a little luck thrown in there. I fly fixed wing and even I'm not planning any flights until the winds die down. It's not worth it.

Just my two cents and a word of caution until Hurricane Sandy passes through. The sport DOES NOT NEED YET ANOTHER ACCIDENT.

Thank you,
