RE: When to fly and when not to fly...
Wyoming Wind Festival--January 1 to December 31 every year.
Like in Texas, you won't fly in Wyoming if you don't fly in the wind. Just keep flying in stronger and stronger winds and you'll get used to it. Cross wind landings are easy, just learn to use the rudder. Backwards landings into a good strong wind are a ball. Like my instructor said when I learned to fly full scale, "the plane doesn't know it's windy."
Up here it's getting too windy when a 90" Road Runner with a 4.2 gasser running at full throttle can't move forward.
