in reply to aviator1977 no i did not fly in winds like that, its just a joke, but kudos to you for the 48kt wind!!! the pilot examiner i use would not go for winds like these but i did fly a citabria the other day in over 20kt winds, that was fun!!!!

the engine is a stock ryobi with stock ignition muffler and carb. it has a jag engines conversion kit and it is on a 12lbs airplane with a 18x6w APC
