Well I went and did it and only a broken prop to show for it!

I called a local FOB on the way home and he said we had 20-25 sustained with up to 32 mph gusts!

The darn thing flew great but certainly squirrelly. Talk about fast down wind legs! Take offs took MAYBE 5 feet, litterally!

The first time I tried to land it I had to go around about 3 times because the plane just kept floating and ballooning. When I did get it down it was almost 0 speed and rolled about 3 feet! Pretty cool but nerve wracking! The rest of the landings were tricky but I definitely picked up needed skills.

Taxiing was a problem as the model would weather vane badly. I had to keep full up stick to have any rudder/wheel authority. At a standstill, putting in down elevator would lift the tail!

I did a downwind approach but chickened out on landing in that direction!

I also got her really high and tried slow speed stuff. It was amazing! The thing would almost hang in the wind with 0 fwd speed like a kite! Very fun!

My last landing (was not intended to be my last!) I came in and let it settle too far up field from me and did not have enough perspective to judge the fwd speed and bounced her pretty hard on the gear (my Hobbistar is in tail dragger configuration) and popped the prop. I then found that I had left my allen wrenches out of my box and had to call it a day.

I was the only person out there and I called one of the club guys on the way home. He told me I was a damned fool to be out there! Oh well, I am now a fool with his "high wind" ticket punched!

Thanks for all of the input, Gents!
