RE: Nervous about the wind
Gusts are the real problem. Have to be quick on the sticks when you hit a wild gust. If the windsock was changing direction that much I'd be leary to. Wind is fun to fly in though. I was actually gaining altitude with my engine at idle last time I was in high winds. Was fun pretending I had a sail plane. Basicly I quit if I'm getting tired or feel worn out from concentrating. Same feeling I get when I'm tired and can't drive well. Time to bag it.
