Default RE: When to fly and when not to fly...

ORIGINAL: sdavied

10 mph isn't wind! Here in Kansas, 10 mph is a great flying day! Try a cub 40 on a 25 mph day! That one made me pucker a bit. Cub had no ground speed when the mains touched down.
Now thats fun! Do it when its gusty and it is definitely a real accomplishment.

I flew one day with a buddy of mine in a 25 mph wind and I had to fly my LT40 all the way to the ground to get it to land. The thing is such a floater it didn't want to come down! Once I finally got it on the ground it kept trying to take off again. Lots of pucker factor, but I had a good time.
