Default RE: Flying in strong Winds

Yesterday it was really calm but in about an hour of flying the wind just came up ?? It knocked over my tall flight box so I had to move that out of the wind. One pilot was using his 40 size Cub, another pilot was flying his stick and I was flying a Hots, no real problems until you landed, you couldn't turn the planes cross wind so we had to walk out and get them. A strong cross wind takes some learning but when you know your plane it gets easier. The sticks are an outstanding all around plane no mater what the conditions!! The rest of the planes that kept flying were bigger stunt planes like Extras and they didn't even know the wind was up. Most fun plane for wind flying?? Try the Sr. Telemaster and I still get a kick with any size trainer.
