Default RE: Flying when windy question

Thanks all,

During my previous flights, they were quite windy with no gusts. That is what has kept me from flying. Just lately is when I started to pay attention to the wind. It's been really windy here and my instructor has called off the last 3-4 weeks of flying because of that. Our field runs north/south and most of our problems were crosswinds/gusts. I wonder if its due to the hurricanes down south. I'm no meteorologist, but this hobby does make you aware of other things connected to flying. A newbie whos learning other factors involved. Hogflyer, I've got 2 astro hog kits in the closet waiting to be built in the future. Looking forward to your tips on these kits.
