15 - 20 mile gust at the field today. Took all my planes with me to the field. When I got the the wind was kicking pretty good. Pretty much made up my mind that I wasn't flying. But a good friend that is one of the instructors. Said "I've seen you fly you'll be fine" "You gotta learn to fly in the wind" So in went for it. Flew the Tucano first, It took off and flew beautifully and handled the wind great. Landing was great. I was elated!! Fired up the decathlon and flew it. Same results. I'm glad those guys were there telling me I could do it. Otherwise I might have turned around and went home. It was a good day. I flew the decathlon three more flights (three tanks of fuel). GREAT DAY!! The one thing I did learn is that I have got to get another radio. My Jr Tx only has memory for two models and doesn't save the trim settings between the two. I promised myself that I will make up mind about the new radio by next weekend. Flying again Tuesday night. Can't wait! Took pics today too. Will post em up one day this week.
