Default RE: First solo on a windy day . . .

It is natural for new pilots to be afraid of the wind but this fear stems in great part from the fact that most trainer aircraft can not handle windy conditions properly. The "classic" flat bottom airfoil, low wing loading trainer will be all over the sky in moderate windy conditions , a fact that many hobby shop people and instructors in many cases, fail to point out.
