Title: Found a neat weather site... passing is along.
Post by: Paul Taylor on April 19, 2011, 01:05:22 PM
For the past few weeks we have had nothing but wind, wind and when the wind was not blowing we got rain. I want to fly model planes not kites. Heck some of this wind would tear up most kites.

Anyway in my search of weather sites looking for a flyable day I ran across this site. Thought some might find it useful.

You can put your own city in. Also on the side I see it has a photo bar. It has a bunch of R/C planes on it. I added a pic of a control line plane. <=

Pablo...I added the site to my folder of links to weather guessing websites... LL~

And good job on adding the picture of your Twodoor (sic). What's the orange/yellow on the fin and aft fuselage? I like it! Might it be Cub Yeller?  ~> Steve

Actually, I think that was kind of cool.  I have never had a website bitch me out over my Adblock or Vipre.  Imagine, threatening to ban my IP!  At least I know my filters are working.
