Towards the end of my training, my Lady instructor started to test me out in more than standard day type winds( normal to average was 18 to 25knts) according to my comments in my Log book we went out with the Wind 20/25 gusting to 35Knts, concentration wasn't a problem that day found my self with her sitting alongside me, take off happened at just over 12" on the MP and full blown flight at about 14", I have never left the ground so fast in my life, I felt like the Lone Ranger riding Arkle(not Silver) fantastic until return to field then I could have walked it quicker, That days flight taught me my most valuable lesson, and that is still to this day simply R22 =25knts max take off wind, any more and I wont take the R22!
