RE: fighting the wind..
This has been one of the windiest years at our club in Eastern North Carolina. I believe more of our members have been flying on windy days. Since now I only fly SPAD planes I worry very little about the wind rolling the plane over. There is almost never any damage. If you can get to the point of not worrying if the plane is damaged ( you are comfortable making repairs) you will enjoy all kinds of flying more. Calm day flying can get boring. A landing on a gusting day is an adrenelin rush. Do drugs needed. You can be high all day when the wind is blowing.
