E-flite UMX MiG-15 28mm EDF Jet: too windy for the MiGlet?

Went to fly the E-flite UMX MiG-15 EDF (the "MiGlet") and WOAH! It was a bit too windy for the l'il MiGlet! "Discretion is the better part of valor"

Overview
The MiG-15 jet fighter entered the stage as a complete surprise, boasting incredible performance and heavy-hitting firepower. Its opposition accepted the challenge in under-classed aircraft with only the advantage of superior tactics. It was an ace pilot’s dream scenario.

Back by popular demand, the E-flite® UMX™ MiG-15 EDF jet replica returns as an incredible fighter experience that delivers some pleasant surprises such as more power, even smoother handling and optional-use SAFE® Select technology that makes it easier for pilots to enjoy formidable jet performance.

The E-flite® UMX™ MiG-15 EDF jet is a scale replica of the surprise Russian weapon used during the Korean conflict. Based on the popular ultra-micro that introduced the world to the impressive advantages AS3X® technology offers models with an exact scale outline, this upgraded MiG shines with a period inspired paint scheme along with some other surprises.

Beyond the intricate surface detail, functional split-rudder, nose wheel steering and removable landing gear is the potent Delta-V® ducted fan system housing a more powerful brushless motor that makes acceleration quicker and top speeds faster. More finely tuned AS3X stabilization makes this nimble dog fighter seem smoother than jets many times larger. Plus, optional-use SAFE® Select technology gives pilots new to flying a high-performance jet revolutionary flight envelope protection that makes getting familiar with a new model feel more comfortable than ever before.

I am getting the MIGlet in a few weeks and my photo is also the MIGlet and good thing you landed it it could have ended badly

Smart move cutting that flight short due to the wind, I did the same today with my Aero Commander. Both planes are in one piece and will fly again.

Even with the wind it looked good.

Haven't you read the RCG threads where guys say they "regularly fly their UMX planes in 20mph wind"?? You don't think them boys may be exaggerating do ya?? Lol. Nice wind landing bud!

Fun fact, real MiGs couldn’t take high speeds either! Air brakes would automatically deploy at 0.92 Mach to keep the control surfaces effective. Good choice to take her out of the air, could’ve ended badly

It seems that you have gone to an unknown field in an unknown city without any concern for local ordinances or restrictions like that military base you pointed out. It's crap like that causing the FAA clampdown on our hobby that us seniors enjoyed unharrowed for many years because WE FOLLWED THE RULES.
