Flight Summary
Flight 1 (~6 minutes) and Flight 2 (~4 min)
The winds where once again too strong for the SC to handle. It does OK up to about 15mph even 20 if it is consistent wind. The condition for these flights about 15mph with additional 10 to 20mph gusts. The aileron wing was picking up the wind like a sail and it was very difficult to control the SC.
For the 2nd flight I switched back to the stock wing thinking it might help- it didn't!
3 Landings
Things I learned from these flights
Wind above 15 mph really makes the SC difficult to fly. Both aileron and non-aileron wings where impacted severely by the gusts. Not really a new learning- rather a re-learning. (I didn't realize the gusts where at greater than 20mph until I checked weatherbug)
Damage
