Hey Guys,
I used to make my living on a motorcycle, so weather conditions were very important to me. General forecasts were great, but I really needed to know hour by hour conditions, and if I was going to have to park the Motor, and get a car. Since I started flying R/C about four years ago, I use this site as well. I retired in December, so I don't have to worry about riding, but it's still great to use to plan my flying day.
It's especially nice to look at the wind speed, for a given block of time. It was created for "real" pilots, but is great for scale pilots as well. Some of you may be already using it, but some may not have seen it, so I thought I'd put it out there. The link is set up for my area, but it's easy to change to yours. Hope this helps someone to plan that perfect day of flying!
