I live in Missouri, and its unusual to have a day with out at least 10 mph wind. I have flown in 20 steady gusting to 30, and my Ultra sport 40 handles it with grace, the 46 is perfect engine for the ultra sport and most 40-size planes. The problem is, and correct me if I’m wrong, they don’t make the ultra sport any more, and I don’t think it ever came as an ARF. I just purchased and put together a Venus 40 ARF, very nice work by Great planes, and it seems to land even better than the Ultra sport. I’m sure you got a lot of advice on landing in a cross, but the safest way in my opinion is to bring it lined up with the runway till you get over it, then turn it into the wind, then let drop on down.
