RE: Nervous about the wind
Just a thought. Most, if not all trainers use a flat bottom airfoil "Clark Y". This type of airfoil is not the most appropiate selection when flying in winding conditions. It developes to much lift.
Have you considered switching to another airplane with a sysmeterical or semisemeterical airfoil selection? If you do, flying in windy conditions will present less of a problem. This solution is intendend for an intterim solution only. Once you have mastered flying in high winds you can fly most any type of airfol.
