Great point Hawk and nicely said...we did a study on last year’s Southwest IMAC season on just that topic...the wind! We found, for whatever reason (mother nature), that 78% of all our IMAC events were held with average winds in excess of 12mph or more...and in some cases both days going into the 18-22mph category on a steady basis.

Bottom line…practice, practice, practice, then when you think you’ve had about enough…practice some more! You, your plane, and your scoring will love the results of your hard work and dedication!
