Short but sweet. Forecast was for 7 mph at dawn building to 9 mph at 9am. The reality was , calm at the surface with a steady 20+mph that held above 1000 ft. I was downwind the entire flight and was barely able to make headway in full reflex. When it became apparent that I wouldn’t be able to penetrate at a safe altitude I descended to 200 ft , pulled in trims and landed hot.
The videos were good on all three cameras. The selfie stick was the most interesting because it was apparent from the look on my face that I was somewhat concerned about getting back to the field. I was happy to see that once I’d committed my countenance appeared competent and focused.
Cheated death again!
