Default RE: flying when its windy

I was flying my 80" cub one day few months ago the wind picked up while i was in the air,it can be a real challenge i tried 5 times to land it, it was so bad that you had to throttle up in to the wind so that it wouldn't get blown back wards and try to touch down there were times i went from 10ft almost straight down just to touch down. i gave up trying to land it and handed it to my buddy who also had a handful we finally got it down with no damage. i was walking to get the plane after touch down the wind just blew it back to me lol . I never want to experience that ever again $$$$ but we fly most of the time between 10-15 at the most, its not so much the wind that will bite yah its the gusts........ chk this tread out i made when it happend
