"3D" pilots like to fly on the extreme edge of the envelop, low and slow. But what amazes me is that winds over 5 mph tend to ground several of the "3D" guys at our field.

In my humble opinion, wind adds an exciting dimension to flying. I like to see a hover all the way through the downwind leg and a nice 0mph harrier landing into the wind. I personally don't have the skills for it but I do fly the best I know how in the wind, like setting up a nice 45 degree crab angle approach and try to end up on the runway when I'm finished.

Let's hear some wind opinions and for god sakes, get out and play with the elements!
