RE: WIND PLANE FROM H@##
I have seen a Kadet senior with a .60 do very well in 25-35 mph wind.
Pilot error is the cause of most crashes in windy conditions.
Good luck have fun with it...
One thing I should mention, the number 1 windy day plane killer...
That is what happens when you fly down wind.
The ground speed is very fast down wind for example;
Air speed = 40
Wind speed =20
Ground speed or the aparent speed =60
The plane zips along fast downwind, pilot pulls back the power reducing his speed then turns, plane stalles snaps and hist ground.
What happened the plane was slowed to just above stall, when turned it raised the stall speed, the plane goes into a stall,then hits ground.
Even though it looked like the plane was going fast enough (ground speed) but the airspeed was close to stall. When it wsa turned it stalled, snap rolled and bang flight over.
