[[[ I've learned you have to be careful not to turn too sharp downwind in a high wind. She'll stall if your airspeed isn't well over wind speed. It's especially important on your downwind leg of landing. Not much altitude at that point. ]]]]


Ahhh I see, turn with a 15 mph wind and I loose 15 mph airspeed? Hadnt thought of that.. Maybe that was what I was experiencing. Like I said, 1st time flying in any wind...
