I used to be afraid of the wind , now I love it .. I don't fly all my planes in the wind and I don't do maidens in the wind but I have favorite wind planes like my LT40 that I can take up and play in the wind.. I like to see if I can sit still or go backwards and pratice my cross wind landings .. Wind can be a challenge and a lot of fun.. It and also be expensive so I avoid taking up expensive planes .. Some planes that are heavy fly pretty good in the wind but they dont need to be heavy to take up and have fun with..
