Sunfish, I have been at pains to understand where you are coming from on this thread, but your comment on x wind maximums is simply too much.
I put an Archer down in Bussleton WA last month with a recorded x wind component of 28kts. There was no lucky gust and at 120 hours I don't consider my coordination to be very good.
My difficulty up to this statement was what I felt was QDM's somewhat cavalier attitude and that yes, some idiot stude would take what he was saying and give it a go - irrespective of their experience.
Your comment on x wind maximums and not exceeding them is simply too slavish.
