Flying in hurricane force winds

Want to have some outrageous fun? The windspeed at the airport can be kicked up to 100 MPH.

Actually thats how I taught myself control reversal... flying at myself with high winds and fighting the turbulence! Works great!

It is fun!

Downwind groundspeed is amazing!

I set the wind to around 20 mph and can get the Wright Flyer to hover. Same with the Cub.
