Default RE: building a landing strip

I have the width portion of it whipped pretty good, it's just setting down consistantly in the length that I am working on. When the wind is blowing steady, I have an easier time of it. When it's gusty, I feel a little iffy about it. I have had the wind pick up the plane nearly 3 feet when it is in the flair, and I don't care much for that, but I have survived so far. Really, the hardest part of this field is getting the plane and the gear up and down the hill either to fly it, or pack it up for the day.
