And concentration, yesterday I went flying after a week of not flying. My Saito was acting up. So I spend 40-45 mins trying to tune it.
Finally I was airborne. Flew 3 times and a thunder storm started so I waited it out. After 20 misn it was gone so I flew again.
Only after I was up I realized that though the storm went they were still high winds.
I lined up for landing in the same way as the previous flights(with barely no winds) but now the winds were ~20 mph cross in my face. The plane ended in the grass in front of me, I stripped the main.
CONCENTRATION, never be so hurry to take off that you dont look at the wind sock. The wind can change direction or speed in 1 minute
