RE: wind sucks......
I agree.. while the wind can be an issue, the best thing is to learn to fly in it. There are several in the club I fly with, that if the pinwheel on our weather vane is moving, they don't fly. I consider the wind just something else to play with. And trainers can be a lot of fun in the wind. Point it into the wind and start pulling the power back... see if you can get the plane to move backwards. Tail slides can be a bit easier if you fly with the wind, then pull up letting the wind hit the top of the airplane. You can hold move elevator without loosing the vertical climb. You can land with a little more power, or see if you can set the plane down inside a 5' box. Respect it, but have some fun with it too.
