Got in two flights today. The wind was still pretty gusty. I flew the Ares a few times first then went for it with the Seawind. I had a lot of problems with it porpoising but managed to get it on the ground with a couple of hard bounces. 2nd flight the landing was too hard and collapsed the nose gear and the prop took a chunk out of the fuselage...OUCH. I should have followed the recommendation to do a few gear up landings in the grass. Now to go order a new nose landing gear assembly.
