I don't know just how windy it was today but let's just say I had the feild to myself with my normal buddies that I go out there with every weekend. So there were 3 of us. My daughter was bugging me to bring her (13 yrs old) and let her fly on the buddy box. Well I took that Nexstar up and did some minor trim pulled to virtical and moderated the throttle to maintain altitude and it blew 500 ft down range in a hover like attitude in just about 15 seconds. So it was quite breezy. I landed this plane diagonally across the runway to get most of a head wind. My WM Super Sports Sr. landed straight down the runway but with about a 45 degree crab aproach... that looked cool too. Wind is fun. Think of it as a challenge. I understand you have a trainer and they are some of the most difficult to fly in the wind but just think about what you will be ready for when you master it.
