Default RE: Let's talk about wind

I flew my trainer two weeks ago in 20-30 mph gusts. It was a blast until I landed. My first aproach was high so I circled around the field. During my third turn I flew through a roller or down draft. Smash my plane was smacked into the ground. Thankfully it wasn't to bad I had her repaired and ready to fly the next weekend. All the guys at my field won't fly in a stiff breeze. I kind of like it. It leaves plenty of flying time for me!
