Default RE: Finally some air time!!

I got to fly this weekend as well, although any other time I wouldn't even have gone out. Flew in 15-30 mph winds. We have been trying to get a Boy Scout troop out to fly for about a month and a half but we've had to cancel on them several times. So we looked at the forecast calling for high winds straight down the runway on an otherwise decent day. So we took them out. I wound up buddy boxing about 12 flights with them. Flying was actually ok once they were up and in the air. Although I did have a few landings that has some serioius pucker factor!!! But the plane survived and we had a great day.

Even with the wind it felt great to be on the sticks again after about 3 months of no flying!!
