RE: Nervous about the wind
While flying in a bit of a breeze is not as good as flying in calm air there is no reason to be scared of wind. Where I fly it is rarely below 5 knots of wind. A LOT of people at my club dont fly in winds above about 15 mph not because they dont want to, its because they can't. If you don't fly in wind how are you going to learn?? I'm not saying go out and train in gusty 25mph winds but every now and then when you getting to your normal wind limit, give it ago. There have been many times when I have been flying with the sky to myself in good conditions because most other people look outside and think "I cant handle that". Also flying in wind greatly increases your skills.
