It has been a bad week generally for gusty wind effects. A couple of days ago one of our group had his seaplane turtle after a decent landing when it was hit by a gust. (Seaplane, not float plane too!) Yesterday a Motor Glider was blown into power lines attempting to land in BC.

Gusty winds are not trustworthy. For me flying in them is too high a risk activity.
