RE: FLYING IN THE WIND
Ever since flying at a contest in Americus Georgia with 25 mph winds gusting to 45 mph, I have starting going out when it is windy. It is fun but you learn a lot about wind correction when flying and landing. After flairing my plane for 300 feet yesterday, I was asked to teach wind correction and rudder use to some of the members. I think this would be fun. Try to do a cuban 8 over the runway with a 15mph crosswind. It takes a lot of work to change rudder when rightsde up or upside down. Even the 180 degree roll has to be done with elevator to correct for wind.
