I feel for ya Ken,

We have the same thing here. I spent the last 2 days getting some planes I have not flown for a while all checked out and ready to go. One of them is my Super Stearman which I love to fly but hate trying to land it. We have a planned fly-in tomorrow with a bunch of young people coming over so that's when I like to fly the Stearman since it's a looker and has smoke. I wanted to practice today with the smoke drawing smiley faces

Anyway, fast forward to 8:00am this morning. I go outside, get out the Stearman, fire it up (cycled the batteries last night) and was enjoying the sound of the G26 barking when I noticed the wind was picking up. No biggie. So I shut down the plane, load it up, toss in the Ultimate and all of it's stuff and my nice new Cap232 and fire up the truck.

I made my first stop to get coffee and when I came out the wind all but blew the coffee cup out of my hand, so I fgure that since the new club I fly at now is 20 miles away I'll head up there and see. Wrong...We use a full scale 20mph wind sock which means at 20mph the sock shuld be straight out and well, it was, and was showing no signs of even dropping a little bit

And to boot, this is only one hour from when I started the Stearman...

If the RC gods want me to sacrafice a plane, they are not going to get their wish . I've been a good boy all week so I guess it's time to try to yell at the weatherman since he said it was going to be 5 10 all weekend long.
