Oh come on, I was flying in a 40kt headwind today at 2000ft! Made the old Robin seem a bit sluggish...

The real fun was my best crosswind landing to date - 20kt crosswind, directly across the runway. The Robin has a demonstrated max of 22kt and I can see why. This was also my first wing down landing in anger - I was always taught to crab but to be honest the wing down landing was a fantastic revelation. But at 20kt crosswind I had pretty much full rudder deflection, so I can see why 22kt was the max!
