DBC:

Please, Dennis, don;t say you think "BILL" is trolling. I have more than 9000 posts on RCU, all signed "Bill." If you must refer to that person/user, please say "Bill R." Even though my last initial is also "R" your inclusion will somewhat differentiate us. And there are many other "Bills" here who might also take umbrage at your just saying "Bill."

That being said, I too suspect an amount of untruth in "Bill R's" two postings here.

A steady wind is no harder to fly in than a dead calm, possibly easier. Gusting up to 10 mph or so is no big deal. Gusting from 5 to 35mph is an entirely different matter, and can easily lead to expensive splinters with the least inattention. If you don't think you're up to it, it's best not to fly.

Bill.
