What Do You Do When It's Too Windy To Fly?

There are alot of windy days here, in Kansas, and it just takes away some of the fun of flying. Really, it is just more of a challenge.

My R/C stuff is not impervious to the wind, but is able to handle it better than my C/L planes. I've flown R/C in 40 mph wind at an open house that the AFB held here, in about 1993. Many of the full-scale airplanes were grounded. The pylon racers around here compete, regardless of the weather, it seems.

We meet at the C/L circles every Tuesday night, and often, it is too windy to fly; so we sit around and talk. About 15 mph was the most wind that I'd flown the Nobler, and the strongest wind that I have attempted to fly C/L. It was okay, but a little bumpy.

I can usually be found in the airplane shop when I can't fly; then, I'm working on something for myself, or some friends. Right now, I have two LIT 1/2A pylon racers for a couple of friends, an ancient Buster C/L in the bones, that needs restored to new, for a friend, my brother's .60 size HOTS he cut parts for, from plans; another friend's two Great Planes F-15 Eagles, that are partially built already-from kits; and the list goes on, not to mention keeping up all the stuff that I fly regularly, and stuff I get a wild idea to whack together, and see if it works. So, I stay busy, even if I can't go flying.

And right, it all revolves around airplanes: I don't ride motorcycles, or race cars, or try new recipes, etc, just airplane stuff.

What do you do?
