I'm right in OKC, the wind is insane. Fortunately, I'm about to order parts for my old GP .40 Cub to completely restore it and convert it to a Super Cub, with flaps and all. That should keep me entertained. Hopefully right about the time we hit the sweet spot of summer, it will be ready to go. The bummer is, I'm just starting with nitro helicopters and have been having a blast with my JR Venture, and while I must say it *does* seem to tackle the windies quite nicely, the vociferous zephyrs we've been faced with here lately are more than I want to subject my beloved heli to!

I did put a full-scale up Saturday.....ASOS was reporting 19 knots gusting to 27 as I recall (about 22-31mph) although I think a lot of the gusts were much higher. Landing was real interesting! Fortunately it was only about 10*-20* off runway heading, and the 172 took it pretty well (the fact that I had nearly full fuel and a decent load of pax didn't hurt, I'm sure).
