Default RE: Nervous about the wind

I agree wings, Bill is trolling.

Zombie,
If you read my first post, I said that the poster (what WAS his name? ) made a wise decision waiting for better conditions. I also said people should push themselves "a little". He would have been pushing himself a LOT.

I do agree that the challenge of flying in strong wind can be fun. And the adrenalin rush MUST be a good cardio workout! 20 to 25, gusting to 35 (according to local weather) has been my highest wind so far, and I survived it just fine thanks. And as a result, flying in 15 to 20 seems almost calm.

I wouldn't advize that anyone without a lot of experience or true natural ability try it though. It takes very quick response on the sticks.
