Re: [Paparazzi-devel] more Arctic flying

[Martin Mueller]

Haiyang,

we wanted a nice film so we tried when there was not a lot of wind :-) 
But some, you can hear a difference in throttle setting when it is 
circling at 1500m.

We flew at wind up to 13m/s on the ground (our meteorological pole was 
measuring 20m/s maximum in gusts even higher). That was about the limit 
for the Funjet. And us. Cold air gets very nasty in the face at that 
speed and -20°C. Plus there was a lot of snow flying low then.
