Default RE: Wind is your Freind

I've been flying for almost 3 years now. Recently, it has been more windy than average and I realized that if you don't learn to fly in the wind, you don't fly much. So I tried really hard to practice using the rudder more and use the wind to my advantage and guess what? I now don't mind flying in winds of 15, 20, 25 miles per hour. Last Saturday I flew in pretty gusty conditions. When I got home, I checked the Weather Bug and we had gusts of 32 mph and an average wind of 14mph. And I was flying a Twist!

Later all,
Jim
