Yeah, I know, the wind was just so variable, one minute it was almost calm, then we'd get a good gust up to 10-12 mph, then calm again. I've got about 1-2 hours total stick time on the Avistar, just about to point where knees don't knock and stomach dosen't knot up when doing touch-n-goes. Flying with the wind Saturday was a good learning experience, and I do beleive in challenging yourself, but today just exceeded my comfort level just enough. I've been working in aviation for nearly 19 years, and I've got a pretty good feeling for how much my skill level exceedes my comfort level. Plus I didn't want to ruin my running record.... every time I've gone to the field since I soloed, I leave with the same prop on the plane that I came with....
