Thanks Arclite,you know this Cub very well
Sorry mate,it's yours again if ever I can't fly it.
5mph sounds about right,any more and I'll be through the hangars or Bob's house.
I'm OK on cross winds,but will not attempt gusty crosswinds where the gust component is much more than the steady airstream limit for the aircraft I'm flying.
For those not conversant,the Cub has no special landing configuration,as it has no flaps,retractable,or anything much else for that matter
(when I had a glider lesson locally the instructor reckoned I must be very used to all the instruments,I told him the glider had about twice as many as the Cub!)
Pace,thank you, I'm aware that the wind speed increases and changes direction with height,it's what happens nearer the ground that concerns me,especially as both approaches are over obstructions,such as trees,houses and hangars,and can be quite turbulent in strong winds.
I do keep an eye on the IAS until over the threshold,then I'm mostly looking out and landing
