Legal,do you fancy a spin this afternoon,the Cub is free
?
The last time I flew the Cub on 23rd September the gusts were up to 30mph at Norwich,but straight down our N-S strip and I had no problem.
I had hoped to take the Cub to a local private airfield in the afternoon for a classic car rally,but the wind was straight across,so I took my old 1936 Riley Special instead
When I got there it was an MG car club meeting and there were some USAF personnel and pilots present with their cars.
I asked a C130 pilot what their cross wind limit was, he grinned and said,
"This is about it, depending on load"
He was riding a Harley,didn't ask crosswind for that
Later that day it died a bit, but still gusting well over 20mph and a P51 Mustang that lives there landed with two up,full fuel and luggage.
It really was a very skillful piece of flying.
Due to the conditions the other Mustang that lives at the field put down at Tibbenham where they have a runway for every occassion
I arrived there next day to fly in a friends Condor as the Mustang took off,what a fantastic sound.
