Radio out- Would you fly?

One operation every 10-20 minutes. Crosswind strong, but
easily within your capabilities. However, it is variable
enough that after takeoff it might change the preferred T/O
or landing direction.

Sure, I'd fly. In a heartbeat.

What troll? It's a legitimate question, especially considering that not
everyone here has oodles of experience.

The situation:

The aircraft was originally certified without an electrical
system. It's usually flown with a handheld radio powered by
a battery. The battery is dead. The airport is
non-towered. The wind is nearly 90 degrees crosswind. You
haven't been able to fly in 4 weeks, and if you don't fly
today, you won't be able to get in the air for at least
another week.

Would you fly?


Yes.

You can't be serious.....possibly not flying because there's no radio.

Me too. The crosswind would make it fun, and the lack of radio would make it
quiet and peaceful. We have nordo traffic all the time, (KRBG), and folks
have learned to keep a sharp eye.

Absolutely without a doubt. What the heck does a radio have to do with a
crosswind?

There are several "It all depends" and how much traffic, what kind of
traffic and if the winds change would your have to go to another
airport and is there one nearby that can handle NORDO traffic?

But basically I'd even fly the Deb.

At my airport? No - but not due to the conditions you described.
